Expensive part... good luck. Also check the parts for sale section, you might have to pay more there though.

Seems most people don't think so, hehe. I had people offering me $50 for it when I was selling mine. I decided to keep mine.

I agree. specialy the glass ones, it just kills the look on the rx7.

I had a glass roof on my previous mbm touring. My current silver 93 has a metal roof. I was thinking about swapping them, but the glass lets alot of heat in the car. Its even worse if you have leather seats. There is some sort of shade you can get but its hard to find and the dealer wants like $500 for it. Glass roofs are worth alot. I sold mine for over $400. Hang on to it untill you get a good offer.

When I was looking for my car I made sure it had a glass moonroof. This is the only pic of my car where the moonroof stood out, not the best pic though:
