The screws we used are a bit too long. For the next ones we will use small screws that fit flush. Other than that we're pretty happy with our product.
We are planning on making 10 for now. We are working on a price as we speak.
I'll keep you guy's informed of our progress.

Is that supposed to be able to slide like a normal sunroof assembly, or just serve as a see through but permanent cover for the hole?

If you do not yet have buyers for the 10 that you are making, please let me know. Unless the price is outrageous, I will buy one for sure.. Please keep me informed.
Does this still let the roof slide back like normal? Or is it made to be a fixed piece?

yeehaw.
Good choice on the Lexan, I saw someone on here mention earlir that they were concerned about it getting yellow. This isn't an issue with Polycarbonate (Lexan is a brand of polycarbonate), it will never yellow the way that plain acrylic will. It is also a lot stronger, it's the stuff they make airplane windshields out of.

Awsome!
I hope you are able to offer this product for sale; I see so many otherwise clean 2nd gens w/ sunroof cover rust.
I have a glass top now, but i would ditch that for some weight savings (w/ mechanism removed of course).
I have been thinking of buying an arcrylic hatch, but the issue of scratching is bothering me.
Is it possible to put the tinting film on the outside? I haven't seen tinted windows getting scratched from the inside. Also, if it did get scratche/gouged, you could replace the film like a goggle's "tear offs".
