I spoke to a repair centre. The way they explained the repair to me was:
Cut away the front part of the front section above the windscreen but leave approx the last 30mm in place.
Clean and prime what's left and glue a new GRP section over the remaining piece and the gap where the old one was cut away.
The elevating roof would be rubbed down, primed and painted where necessary and a new seal fitted without the metal band inside which may be causing the problem.
I've got mixed feelings on the repair.
- seems less invasive than debonding the whole front section (which could be good)
- maybe it's a coverup job - is it going to be corroding underneath?
- really not so happy about the short warranty given it's a new repair that hasn't been tested over time
