Glass Moonroof - Was it stock?

I just bought a glass moonroof from another member and it is missing one of the screws. I searched through the VB catalog, but can't find any reference to the glass moonroof. Was this a stock option, or only an aftermarket item? Thanks.


BTW, if anyone knows where I can get the black screws that hold the clips on the glass, let me know. Thanks.

Dave

It was an option offered by Mazda on the GSL and GSL-SE's (IIRC).
I would say try going to a automotive store and search through the bolts bin for a match or something close enough to work, or post in the parts section you need that piece..

Later

I have the moon roof. Aren't there any other screws on your car that fit?

The metal screws are different length to go through the 2 layers of metal and the space in between.

I think the hardware is the same for both the glass and metal roof.

A dremer or grinder will do fine to get it the right length
