Saratoga top and visor value?

Hey Guys,

So long story short the guy I bought my RX-7 from 7 years ago liked moonroofs. So when I bought my car it had a moonroof and visor/wind deflector installed. It came with the original body colored sunroof in the moonroof box which I immediately swapped out for. The moonroof has been sitting in it's original box in my garage since then.

I tried searching but the information I found is only about the glass saratoga tops. The box is clearly checked "engineering plastic". Has an odd bronze tint to the "glass".

What do you think a fair price for the moonroof and wind deflector (the original box too if someone wants it, lol) would be?

Thanks guys,

Wow, that's kind of ridiculous.

The plastic ones dont go for all that much iirc. The two styles of glass ones go for 400+ now.

The 2 most common glass roofs are Pacific Glass and Saratoga...The Pac Glass is stationary iirc and the Saratoga which is on my FC is actually a fully retractable roof like the factory one making it more expensive...

Pac Glass ( I sold 2 at $400 shipped)

I paid $700 (shipped) for my Saratoga....

If yours is plastic (which is easier to make than a glass copy) I would say $150-$200 should be fair if its in decent shape...

I'm curious as to the mounting and look of it....can you post pics?

Mounts the same as factory. I will post some pics when I get a chance to get over to my parents house.

the plastic ones had a fiberglass frame work that the plastic was glued to.
These sometimes came loose- like it did on my old car when the new owner went down the 1/4 mile and shattered into pieces

trick was to always operate the car with the roof tilted because when it was closed all the way it wanted to lift
