Stagea 2000 Hail Damaged Roof Help Plz

[Noske]

I got a 2000 Stagea and the roof is damaged badly

I called Nissan 3 weeks ago nothing yet and when i asked how long it takes to get it they said 3 months , I think thats crazy

Has any 1 got any good ideas please?

[AlexCim]

The best bet I would think would be to

-Remove interior roof trim

-Inspect if the roof is able to be beaten out

-If not beaten out, bog fill and sand down, respray

Since when can you buy replacement roofs? Arnt they part of the fixed chassis? With the nissan part, would you cut and weld on the new roof, sand then paint?

Noske, what state do you and your Stagea live in?

I know a Sydney-based dent-puller who might be up to the task. He has a good reputation and went to Europe (mostly Germany, IIRC) a few years ago when they had massive storms, and did work for the Mercedes-Benz factory storage yards.

Yeah, ditto if you're in the ACT, i know of a guy who is magic with paintless dent removal. give us a yell if you're nearby

[Noske]

Hi again and thanx for the input

I am on the Gold Coast

I went to heaps and heaps of dent removal guys and heaps of pannel beaters and all the same story too many dints on a big surface cant fix.

The best price i got so far is $800 to fit and paint if i got a new roof

BUT Nissan is taking their time to get back to me but i dnt think e new roof should be more than a $1000 but its just getting it thats the problem

ALEXCIM - Its not a replacement roof its just the skin on the top that comes off and you weld a new skin on.

You do make a good point with the sand and paint but the boging how long would that last with the hot and cold i think it would crack you?

GOLDZILLA - Thanx its worth a try i ll be in Sydney in about a month or so whats the guys name and ph no please?

TERMINAL - Thanx a lot

[GoldZilla]

Noske, I am in the process of getting the guy's details for you.

Sorry about the delay, waiting on his details from someone else, and we haven't had a chance to speak in the past few days...

[GoldZilla]

Sorry for the delay Noske, the guy's name is Todd, and his business is "The Dent Magician."

He's based in Sydney, but you can still give him a call and see if he may be able to recommend someone - unless of course you do end up coming to Sydney as you mentioned...

So the details are:

Todd - "The Dent Magician"
