I then had a body shop weld a steel plate in place of the sunroof. Works great. Just needs some paint.

You can weld in panel, that's what all the race shops do to cars with sun roofs.

4.5 Reparability
Since SPRs represent a special joining method and
require costly equipment, they cannot readily be used
for repairs. Joining methods that allow repairs to be
performed less expensively than is possible with SPRs
were thus considered. As a result, blind rivets, which
offer at least the same strength as SPRs with the joining
method used when repairs are performed, were
adopted (Figs. 10 and 11). Unlike SPRs, blind rivets
require holes to be made prior to insertion, meaning
that sealant must be used to prevent water ingress.
