Hi , my 1997 c2s car has what I would describe as a pimple on roof appear for no reason - Bodyshop says not rust or paint as it’s solid and took some tapping out rather than have a respray to roof just yet .
But once you’ve seen it you’ve seeen it so that’ll be the next step.
Online one theory it was a rivet in the roof had popped but no proof of this .
Any thoughts welcome.
Cheers
 
Got a photo? Be interested to see it anyway
 
Zoom the picture out to give us context of position please. Can't imagine it being a rivet, especially not where I think it is. Any marks on the headlining inside the car?
 
That’s in a really strange position for it to be something pushing through or out

Agreed but surely that's the only explanation... from the inside??
Are the sunroofs double skinned I wonder and perhaps when open something has got between the skins like a stone??
It's a mystery for sure
 
No internal damage and 5cm from edge of sun roof where the skin appears to double back for say 8cm and presumable where any weld would be strengthening the roof ….t
 
Photo of situation if you squint 😊
