    Or you can have a version like on the 2CVs where the vinyl roof opens up like a soft top lol.

    best way would be to get a plate welded from the inside to cover the holes then fill, its worth paying abit extra to have it done properly because the roof will flex & bend & eventualley the filler will work loose & than stand out a mile then respray yep £100 to £150 seema about right for the roof section

    Probably the best way is to remove the Roof lining and braize all the holes with suitable pieces,Otherwise it will be a nightmare if it fails again with all the stress in the roof.
