Pacific Glass sunroof hardware questions
Almost a year ago, I ended up buying a Pacific glass sunroof panel off eBay for a good price (I won't say how much, but it was a steal despite a few problems). Though the panel is in pretty fair shape with no cracks and has its original seal and hardware, I have some problems.
First, I only have three of the original four screw/nuts need to mount the panel (the fourth is an incorrect unsealed type). Second, there are numerous water marks and scratches on the exterior of the panel. Third, the seal is a bit torn up and worn, but after cleaning it up, fixing one of the tears, masking and painting the non-sealing part with satin black, it looks much better. As for the marks and scratches, I plan to polish out the panel (the inside is excellent).
Ok, the question is this: what kind of screws / nuts are used for this panel? I've searched this forum, searched the Internet, and checked a few sites that sell fasteners, but found nothing that appears to work as a replacement.
I guess another question is, for those who have been through a similar problem with hardware, what solution did you come up with? What kind of fasteners did you use when the originals weren't available?
