A Buddies of mine is horrible the whole top is nothing but bubbles, i know why it does it but curious on the how to's.The car is a 2000' so it prolly wouldnt hurt to have the whole thing painted espeially w/ all the labor that's gonna be in the roof lol. Pics would be awsome thanks guys!

Are you gonna replace it? Cause all the reading I've done shows that repairing it won't suffice, it's gonna just come back. It needs to be replaced.
