I don't know why everyone is so afraid of cutting and installing a new roof. Sometimes that is the answer. A good body shop can do it with a minimum of bondo on the weld seams and you would never know it without removing the head liner or grinding off the paint. I have seen cars cut cut in half and you couldn't tell.

future windshield repairs are more likely to leak/rust at the pinch weld, when roofs are replaced

door seams are likely to not line up perfect

headliner, if reused, will never be the same and perfect

stuff like that. unless you get ---the best autobody person in the land--- (there are about 150 on the planet)
you'll have everlasting imperfections

The opposite of my experience... but then again I knew some really good body repairmen. I guess that if done incorrectly those could all be issues...
