Glass Moonroof

Damn, it did start!
the pouch is worth more also? how much for the pouch alone/ being mint?

I'd bet the 80-85 sunroofs are pretty much the same. Maybe some changes in **** colors. The VB catalog shows most of the parts applicable to 80-85. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
The glass "moonroofs" are interchangable with the metal "sunroofs".
My SE didn't come with a moonroof so I bought one off ebay for $150 + shipping that turned out to about $200. It fits perfect and have had no problems at all with it. Have no idea what year it is from.
Some guy on the forum was selling one for $100 but wanted me to send him money first and wouldn't take COD--so I passed on that.
Good Luck, Scott

Whaaa? $200 or $20. Why is there such a price difference? What should I look for in a sunroof? I'm looking to get one because my car didn't come with one. (It's a GSL-SE and it should have one but the previous owner didn't have it blah blah blah). Are there smoked ones AND clear ones?
Thanks for reading and replying!

Got Boost?
My falling apart SE has both as well....amazingly. Only wish it was in as "mint" condition as your's probably are, Mannits. My GS has neither, I like it better without (weight savings, no 'hole' in the uni-body requring added structure, less sun to expose/rot the interior, etc.), but I guess I'm the type thats takes function before form.

i personally don't like them anymore. i had a moonroof in my other car and the only thing liked was freaking people out driving with my head sticking out of it.

I'm wondering if I could just get some Plexiglass, cut it to the right size, take the brackets off my metal sunroof and bolt them to the plexiglass...
Probably not...
What's the difference between Moon roof and Sun roof? Seems synonymous.

You guys are lucky with the junkyards, I've looked over Houston and San Antonio with no luck. Most of the yards are crushing cars that old to make way for newer ones.

One item of caution re the glass moonroofs for the SEs as they are almost 20 yrs. old (that I found on one I bought on the internet for $200) that a year after purchase the bolts, screws, and washers will rust or rot and become frozen to the hardware. Sun Auto is no longer in business. I drilled the bolts and screws that were frozen out since the metal and glass of the sunroof were about to meet tragically leading to potential glass breakage. The dealer discontinued the moonroof parts (they were not aftermarket) around 1991 so it was off the the local hardware store to try to get creative with wellnuts (an odd shaped rubber washer with brass threads inside),plastic spacers, rubber washers, rubber tubing, stainless steel button topped bolts, etc. It worked after 2 hours of experimentation and was time consuming but not a difficult project. Check the hardware to see if it is frozen before buying.

Plexiglass sounds like an interesting idea, for lighhtness and easy replacement. Maybe I'll give it a try with a piece of interestingly colored plastic from TAP. I've got OEM moonroofs on both cars, but a lighter unit would be interesting
