Glass Sunroofs

Hey how do you get your hands on a glass sunroof?. I can't seem to find them any where and just wondered if any one knew?

Thanks in advance

Matt

glass sunroof... I think it's called a moon roof.

I just saw one the other day at the bone yard on an 84. I have one on my 79. I'm not sure if the SA's and the FB's have different shaped glass, but I think they do.

I have one made out of plexiglass. Used once, looks like brandnew. Also, I have a glass one but it really needs the hardware kit because the screws and the mounts are worn out... would let the glass one go for 30.00 dollars but you will have to pick it up.. shipping is very expensive, besides you live in Seattle, I live in Steilacoom, WA.

The plexiglass was very pricey. So that one I will let go for about 150.00

Like I said is brandnew. Used once.


By the way they're for 81-85... 79-80's are different....

Well, if you have no luck from a bone yard, wich from my personal past experiance for several years is well worth the blood sweat and tears, then try "Virtoria British" web site is "victoriabritish.com" all stock components and replacements. But put in the hours at the B.Y. it will be worth it.

I have a plexiglass moon roof that came with my car, and it is *very* light... it's really old too, the sun has caused odd crack-looking designs and colors
