mine came with one stock, but I hear they are pretty rare. Im sure it would just be bolt on replacement. 50 is fare for a junkyard

Well tell my which junk yard so I can go make sure it's in good shape

One request - take some pics for us (underneath, open, closed, etc..) and post them.

Hopefully I can find someone to make us some again

Yeah they're very rare - especially the OEM one (vs the pacific glass ones mazda also offered).

Those are rare as 4.33 LSD rear end, which I'm getting for $80 , probably more rare. Get it and sell it to me.

You see one, grab it. Either keep it, or toss it on ebay and make $250+

They were available as a dealer installed option for a few years as well as at least one or two aftermarket companies built them.

I agree with everyone, if it really is a stock replacement glass roof, buy it. Even if you can't use it in your car I bet you could sell it on ebay for at least $150

I asked the TRI7 list about them a few years ago and was quoted $200 for an average price...$50 is a great deal if it's a direct replacement, not something aftermarket.

Just be aware of the weatherstripping. I bought a Pacific glass one and the weatherstripping needed to be replaced. It doesn't use the same weatherstripping that the metal roof uses and I'm not have much luck finding a replacement.

try over 400 if you find a desperate buyer. the 2nd gen glass roofs are not as common as the 1st gen ones, so the price for admission is much higher

I have a glass sunroof, but I think it may be aftermarket. It's not powered, only opens manually, and is a little smaller than the metal sunroofs I've seen on FC's.
