I think it would be easier to just chop it off and weld the new one in. Less chance of warping and there wouldnt be weird hidden seams and the cut out for the sunroof and Id be able to put in a normal headliner. ---

If vinyl can 100% perfectly match my perfect, original OEM roof paint then I’ll consider it. Plus, there’s little “bumps” in the tops that I doubt vinyl could effectively cover. ---

THe true facts are that paint will not adhere to the glass. Everything and anything will scratch it and chip it. you can get color matched vinyl BTW [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/painting-glass/252633.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/painting-glass/252633.md?page=3)
