I am leaning towards a roof skin swap if the cost isn't crazy. The current roof is rusty in front right corner too so would be a bonus to find a cleaner one.

i would change the skin ,its easy job , many ppl does it here with late benz , which came without sun roo and fit skin with sunroof , and bimmers too , so why not it works with audi? , just take of the spot welds with a driller , and set in place of it the none sunroof trim and weld it back with seam sealer. and that is it , its simple specialy our ppl here iq is 10/100 from your ppl

Paul, for the quickest and cheapest fix id just wrap the roof with some 3M film, Carbon, matt black etc. Should be enough to cover the sunroof completely and make it watertight, fully reverseable with no permanent damage so you can fix this once and for all when welding up the rollcage.

Holy chop shop that man - I prefer the look of the other method with a tube welded in place of the sunroof gasket. Could actually fill that for a smooth finish, prime it and apply some best 3M carbon fakery wrap for ultra light looking roof.Paul Nugent
