Rusty Moonroof!

I took out my Tan headliner today to replace it with the black one I purchased some time back. When I got it out I discovered a lot of rust on the drivers side track of my moonroof! If anyone has gone through this before please let me know if it is repairable. In some spots the thin metal has completely rusted through and the rust pretty much runs all the way down the track.


Thanks

Shogun

well the tracks are made from aluminum i believe so they are not rusted but the steel that the track attaches to is rusted all the way through.

You guys are all missing the point! he asked "If anyone has gone through this before please let me know if it is repairable." not If you guys have any rails or assemblys please let me know!
My old car had this same thing happen. What I did is took it to a body shop, they took off the sunroof and took the rust off and treated the area with rust primer and repainted the sun roof area... hope this helps?

The sunroof itself is just fine it is the body of the car or the roof that has the rust. I took the sun roof off and it is rusted through the metal right into the car. I will take some pictures tonight and post them to give you a better image. I just want to know what you all think and if it is repairable. I can't drive it at the moment because I have a few parts off if it along with the stripped interior.



tom tim -- The problem i have is that it has rusted all the way through so simple removal of the rust will still leave a hole in the track area where the moonroof would fit in.


Thanks,

Shogun
