Recon cab light Template?

My truck with a pano roof is in the body shop and i bought some recons for it. The bodyshop foreman and i have a minor language barrier.

Is there a template in the box or does anyone have one? I see someone on ebay sells a template for $36 lol. If it was $10 I would be all over it but that seems a tad high. So I will use this forum resource first, since I am an enthusiast.

The search function in this forum works pretty well. Here are a few results with and without the huge hole in the roof ...

Lots of good info. The conflict is the template is for non sunroof and my spanish is poor enough that I should not give directions unless its a template.

I read that the furthest outside ones possibly go through a hole in a cross brace and to pilot through there.

Remember only one chance to do it correctly 😂

That’s a bold move Joe, hope it works out. There’s No Way I’d trust someone I couldn’t CLEARLY communicate with to cut holes in the roof, like you said, only get one shot at it.

That diagram is non sunroof.


And communication is out of respect as I dont care to learn more than basic spanish and they wish to not learn more than basic English. Its a thing we do around here.
