Simple enough, weld plate on inside, fill cavity with chem metal and smooth down flush once dry

Just make sure the welder knows what he is doing or ya could end up with a buckled roof if he puts to much heat in it

I'd tack it then use seam seal or some tiger seal too just to make sure on the inside before applying the chem

Suppose you could just tigerseal and epoxy it into place
Tigerseal works wonders for gluing stuff onto your landy, managed to stick my sock to the roof last time :doh: went up on the roof in socks to stop from scratching it with my shoes while I fixed the sunroof and got my sock stuck on there

Tiger seal is a PU adhesive sealant that's been used for years in the commercial body building industry, Silka made the first kind that I ever used back in the 80's
Look at the 40' arctic refrigerated trailers that most supermarkets use, they are all bonded together with no welds (apart from the stainless steel rear door frame)
A panel could be neatly made and bonded in place with a few rivets for good measure, would it really need blending into the roof with filler? as unless you 6'6" tall you would not see it.

Yeah I'd have it blended purely because it'll look **** with a large indent
Just had a thought, how about a piece of chequer plate to cover the sunroof and rust patch, seal it with tiger glue and rivet in place?
A least chequer plate would not look out of place. Ok it would look a bit weird from the inside through the sunroof but at least no more leaks.

Yeah but if I was him I'd want it done properly so it didn't look ****……….
