As many have already stated, you should be able to find a local shop that deals with sunroofs and can fix it. I have seen a few camaros with auto sunroofs in them but we have a local shop that is REALLY good with stuff like that, and they have even done a few installs for dealerships in the area, though you're a little too far away for that to be relavant. good luck getting it fixed though, those things can be a PITA when they start to mess up.. sorta like power windows on a camaro =/

Really the only thing holding it in is about 1.5" of metal in the front and another 1.5" in the rear. I think you will forever be fighting the leakage problem because of the flex in the stock roof material. I think targa will be your best bet and I don't think it would cost as much as many are leading you to believe. The most expensive part would be getting someone to build a fiberglass/carbon roof panel. After that rig up the t-top connections.

Good luck. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

That shouldn't be any problem to cut that support out of a junk car and welding it in. He wouldn't even have to replace the whole piece just splice in the part that got cut out and then go t-top conversion.

Nothing... it's just that it's always going to flex and be a problem for him.
