This past Friday I had my car inspected for my insurance, with them reporting back to me on Friday that they're calling it a total loss. Not too surprising considering the car is 12 years old. So now I'm waiting to hear what the settlement is going to be, along with seeing about keeping the car, as the car itself drives perfectly fine other than the lack of a sunroof. My dad did something similar when hail destroyed his windshield and it was considered a total loss: collected the insurance money, bought back the car as a salvage car, installed a new windshield himself, and was good to go.

Problem for me is that the frame of the roof is bent, so I can't pop in a new sunroof and be done with it. For the foreseeable future I'm gonna stick with using the plastic sheet and packaging tape to cover the hole. Maybe down the road I'll look into finding someone who can weld a metal sheet over the hole and then paint over it. Won't look nice, but it doesn't bother me at all. Rather have a perfectly running car that looks like crap than be stuck with car payments on a worse used car.
