Anyone installed a pop-up sunroof? I want one in my 85, but I don't want to cause potential problems. Anyone done this successfully?

Ive done told you, your rotary / body shop is here

Get a roof from a donor car, cut at the A pillar and at the back side panels so I get the whole roof headliner and all

 

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Non-sunroof models are rare and valuable....

 

i have a non sunroof gsl.....now thats rare.....

im looking at a sunroof called the genesis....almost same size as the stock one...moonroof, popup style....(i was thinking bout doing the donor swap...but that would probably cost a lot......

 

I would SO love to have a non-sunroof model! It would be a lot easier than welding the steel skin in place and cutting all of the bracing out.

 

Hey peejay

You want a no-sunroof model, I want a sunroof model.
HHMMMMmmmmm.........................

 

Really? I guess I devalued 2 of them

 

I envision some sort of a roof assy, in a sprts car either T tops, targa, sunroof or a vert

 

No sunroof = more room for helmeted heads

What good is a sports car if you can't take it to the track? That is the whole premise behind a sports car... something cheap that you can race and drive on the street too.

 

I agree with peejay. I prefer non-sunroof too. To me it feels like more of a racing car without the sunroof. However it is totally personal preference.

 

What kind of mechanism opens the sunroof. On my 82I have a lever that I move from the right to left. But at the junkyard I saw a 83 with a sunroof that had a much more complicated and big *** mechanism to move the sunroof up.

I wonder if my car came stock without a sunroof.

 

Unless you take the sunroof off.

 

Actually I think if you have the glass roof in there, there is more room. The headliner hangs lower than the glass roof does, the glass roof gives you maybe 3/4" more

 

Correct
