There was 1 in my 70 RR and I flanged around the opening and cut another piece of a roof into it, been done now for 3-4 years and there isn't any places showing on it so I think it is going to stay. I'm like you and couldn't buy a new roof skin. I had to do all the work on my car my self because I couldn't afford to pay to get it all done. Good Luck on Yours. Ronnie
