Background
Review the substructure roof cut discussion.
The roof skin cut is the only one in the Ute build that requires precision (within a 1/8″); other cuts can vary by 1/2″ or more without consequences.
Wedges separate the top skin from substructure
After the substructure cut is made, separate the top roof skin from the substructure with small wedges. The roof skin must be cut three inches behind the door line and, if the car has a sunroof, 12 inches back from the edge of the sunroof. This should be approximately one inch back from the edge of the roof substructure cut.
