Thank you gumbi for the pictures. I have been searching all over the internet on people taking the roof off these trucks. It looks like you had the same problems. Good Idea on the doors as I even heard the factory fitment can be off. This would be a good way on fixing that problem. Again as I take this apart, it is fun to analyse the assembly process for the truck.
I was wondering if I had to take the whole inner skin out or could I just replace the front. However I would have to work around the corner bracing so the whole inner skin might still have to come out anyway.
I could buy the whole inner panel Which looks like it has the front A pillar bracing with it. But trying to save money a little here and there so I was wondering if I could get away with just the front inner panel.
I haven't been feeling well this week so the progress has slowed up a little
I was inspired by the jig in gumbi pictures and so I made one for the front window

that way I know where that seam has to sit when I am taking everything apart. I might make 2 more braces for the upper part.
