Dear all,
My name is Philipp and I'm living in Switzerland, near Zurich and drive No. 10849. It's great to be here and I'm always very thankful for all the good information I got from this forum (even I was only a guest in this forum until today).
My problem with 10849 is giving me restless nights and thus I hope to get further advices on how I can fix it in this thread:
As the T-panel was slightly lifting off of the roof I decided to get rid of the old roof box and install the stainless roof box from delorean.eu. I reached the point where I have removed the old roof box and start with the preparation of the fiberglas-body to install the new one. Due to the fact that in some area of the old box the glue stuck better to the fiberglas than to the metal, I unfortunately locally removed some fibers as seen in the picture attached.

Now I would like to treat those areas before I finally glue the new box on the body. I got the recommendation just to apply some resin and sanding it afterwards. What do you think? I would prefer to apply fiberglass mats as well, but I'm worried about if the mats get properly attached to the old body and not get loosed when I have installed the new roof box and apply some load on it. Final question: What kind of resin/fiberglas mat is recommended to locally repair the body?
Thanks for your support!
Philipp
