2 Things Looking for Research On
1.) Who was the original manufactor/dealer who made the sunroofs for the 2nd Gen RX-7's. Somebody told me once and I forgot and didn't right it down.
2.)Is there any place I can get carbon fiber interior kits for a second Gen RX-7. 89-91 Model

First off, what do you mean by made the sunroofs - the mechanisms, the panel, what? The panel is most likely stamped by Mazda. Not sure on the rails. What problem are you trying to solve?

Well my sunroof is rusting. Which looks like crap. I personally like the glass sunroof better. I was looking/hopping I could order a replacement sunroof from the orginal manufactor. Or find a dealer that sells there product.

There is no where to buy a glass sunroof other than used. There used to be a company named Pacific that made glass sunroofs and you could actually get one as an extra dealer-installed option when buying the car new. But, these sunroofs are VERY rare and cannot be bought new - they've been out of production for at least 8 years.
There was another company that made a plastic/acrylic sunroof, and my old roommate managed to get one new in the box off Ebay years ago. While it looks nice, it isn't the best quality and did end up cracking.
Best bet is to either find a good sunroof in a junkyard or take your sunroof to a good body shop and have the rust repaired. If it isn't too bad (just rust bubbles) they can grind out the rust, weld in some new metal, and seal and paint it for not a lot of money. That's definitely the easiest, least expensive, and most quality-oriented way to go.
