I have been faced with this same problem. There is a place that makes carbon plugs custom for about $600-$700, factory Aluminum roof can be had new for about $800, and then you can get the carbon for $1200. OR.... you could always have a bodyshop weld in a patch panel which would probably be the most economical choice after all install fees are associated with the other options, minus the plug.
