Installing Ragtop
Do I need to have an engineer's inspection done on my '63 bug after I cut the roof to install a Golde sunroof? How would they know if I had done it?
If it does need inspection, is that just done by a regular mechanic or someone more highly qualified?
And most importantly, how much would it cost?
Cheers!
