Why not just add the windows?

Could do that but from my brief look online its easier to change the roof than to try and get them in factory position on a non alpine roof as i want them to be in factory position for interior trip in future

much easier to cut out for alpines than a roof swap, done both and found cutting out easier. just get a proper tool for running the filler strip into the seals, oh and lots of fairy liquid.
