Hi! I bought my 854T in July 12, 2003. Apparrantly this did not please God, so he/she decided to bring a freak hail storm to my area at 5AM on the 13th. The damage done warrants replacement of the hood, trunk, and... the roof.

Here's where the question comes in. Assuming I can figure out how to remove the ceiling and the roof/windshield trim, how do I remove the roof? Do I need to cut/weld, or is it bolted, clipped, or something simmilar...

I really don't want the best Arkansas has to offer using an arc welder on my car and popping every bleeping circuit in the thing. I have already read my Haynes manual's section on removing the roof, which was very simmilar to the section for anything else I might be interested in doing myself... take it to the dealer. Wonder how much Volvo NA paid them for that.
