metal moonroof to glass sunroof replacement
i have the glass sunroof i want to replace with the metal. do i need to take the headliner out and such to do this?
JUST the metal moonroof. dont need to fix the track or anything like that. the track works perfect.

you'll slide the suroof back about 1/4 - 1/3 of the way and then pull the cloth covering off of the metal sunroof. it's just held on there with some plastic disposable connectors but be gentle with it, you don't want to bend or rip it. then you'll see ... 4 or 6 bolts that bolt onto the metal part of the sunroof. sorry it's been a while since i've had mine out.
a haynes manual from your local auto parts shop will give you a good step by step. and the fsm links from the FAQ will show you all the parts of the sunroof in an exploded view. link FSM just go to section 14 - 55
hope that is some help,

oops, didn't realise you were going to replace you existing glass roof with a new metal one. i hope the FSM can still help a bit.

yep, mine is gold tinted also, i have no idea where it come from...it was on my car when i got it.....if you have one and need cash...its a good way to make good money fast
and if you have a metal sunroof, its a direct replacement...well it was for mine anyhow...*shrug***
