I have a 2008 2720 TM purchased new. Unfortunately I had a slight accident with the forward roof section(a freaky mistake). The accident resulted in an approx. 6" straight cut in the aluminum on the forward section of the roof in a flat area. The cut is only through the exterior aluminum sheet and slightly into the foam core(approx. 1/8" deep). The roof is not distorted at all and the interior aluminum sheet has not been damaged or distorted at all.

Does anyone have an idea as to the best way to make a repair or has anyone made a repair on damage similar to mine? Obviously I would like the repair to be as close to new as possible. The factory said they could replace the panel for approx. $5,000 or they may be able to cover with a sheet of aluminum. I do not plan to replace the panel nor do I think it necessary.
