This panel is essentially the metal skin of your roof, the big, visible part. It provides a solid, weatherproof barrier. It's stamped steel, usually, and designed to fit perfectly with the surrounding parts to keep the elements out. It doesn't do anything mechanical, it’s pure bodywork. It’s a structural body panel. It adds to the overall rigidity of the vehicle's frame. It's not a load – bearing part in the same way a frame rail is, but it contributes to the car holding its shape and handling properly. More importantly though, it's what keeps rain, snow, and sun from coming into the car. It’s also obviously a big part of what makes the car look the way it does. Well, without it, you’ve got a hole in your roof! You’ll notice if this gets damaged pretty quickly, either from leaks or just from looking at it. A dented or rusted roof panel compromises the weather sealing and impacts the vehicle's appearance. It also opens the door to further rust and corrosion underneath. If it’s badly damaged, it can actually affect the way the car handles slightly. You can find replacements for these pretty easily. Places like Fixparts Online carry a good range of body panels. It’s one of those things that, when it’s good, you don’t think about it, but when it’s bad, it's a big headache. It acts like a shield against the weather, so keeping it in good shape is important.
