Just want to find out how easy it is to transfer an electric cabbie roof from one car to another. The reason why i want to do this is coz i want to buy a car in better condition rust wise from a zoner to replace my rust bucket but i want the electric roof on my rustier car to be transfered to the new car. I need this information before i buy this cabbie from the zoner. Thanks guys

Don't bother ! It's a VERY big mission, the rear bulkhead / hood well is very different to a non electric car.

I was going to do this too, i'd removed all the parts but then looked at the non-electric roof compartment/bulkhead and thought better of it.
You'll need to do some cutting and drilling
