Depends what do you want, peel and reclear or replace the whole carbon roof? I wouldn't trust a regular body shop to do so unless there's someone that knows carbon fiber but to replace is easy. I could do that myself all day long. Peeling the roof and to sand a bit is very tricky and takes tons of patience. I wouldn't trust anyone unless it was a specialized shop that works with carbon fiber parts or you personally know someone who knows themselves what to do.
Well, I bit the bullet and had the entire CF roof panel replaced. It's still in the shop but I expect to have it back next week. Pretty big job. Fingers crossed for no rattles.
I am clueless as to why they removed the quarter glass and detriment other exterior pieces. The only things that should have been removed were the front and back glass and of course some interior pieces like head liner and corner pieces interior only. Did you have paint work done to your car? If not you've been screwed over unneeded labor. How much did that run you if you don't mind me asking? I am quite curious on labor costs.
