roof panel replacement question?

[brawley]

I want to swap my roof top panel, I found a good top from a junkyard, my question is if I need to drill all the way through the headliner panel also,or can I just drill out enough until the top seperates? I did not want to have to fill any unessessary holes on the underside of the roof top. any body got some good pics. of this? thanks

The cap can be removed entirely from the outside by drilling out the spot-welds around the perimeter of the drip rail. When installing the donor roof cap, the holes can be puddle-welded and the drip rail partially filled with flowable seam fill, therefore there is no evidence of replacing the cap from inside the cab.
