my wira roof top already rustted by the gum. how much to change the roof top included with the paint job? any recommendation? thanks
yeah, need to ask again the shop, if not my roof can become aquarium already! LOLmost of high priced because of workmanship...
maybe u can ask the shop about the quotation given and check the price for the roof alone at the shop....
yeah its a lot of work so u can understand when they charge u a high priceI think to buy the replacement roof is not so expensive....
The costly part is the workmanship... Its damn tedious work if u look at them doin it.....
yeah the problem is proton used a metal based glue in production that rusts the roofI had this problem once when I was using my wira. The reliable method would be grinding off not just the rust but the cheap silicone glue that proton uses as well. Then replace the glue with the expensive japan silicone glue, cement, and respray. It is tedious and thus cost a lot.
I find that changing the whole roof costs the same or even slightly cheaper. I asked from proton around 7 months ago and a new roof cost around 400. My area is in KK, sabah. So might as well get the old roof out and fix the new one. Oh and remember to tell your trusted workshop not to reuse the cheap glues.
same from kk. my suggestion. replace the roof with a new one. and dont mind the cost for workmanship, coz last time when i change my roof at an anonymous workshop that offered less than any other workshop, yea, the roof is new, paint also new, but the glue worn-out after 2months. everytime heavy rain leaked in. really a cincai work by them. learned my lesson.I had this problem once when I was using my wira.
