just added a glass sunroof
first of all I have to thank Fritz. He is the man and if you need parts he should be the first person to call and see if he has them. Very easy to deal with and he know a great deal about the fd's. So THANK YOU VERY MUCH FRITZ FLYNN. I have been looking for a glass roof since about the second day I owned my fd.

I didn't get the cover that snaps in, that's probably another hard part to find. I am sure the biggest battle was deff finding the glass. I do have the cover on the bottom of the steel roof and thought I could fab something up. Really the only time I would use the cover is when it is parked, I always drive with it open except for when it is rainin. It would be nice to have it but I am not heart broken without it. You might ask me after the summer how I feel about not it and it may be a diff story.

I did some asking around before and it's about $50 to get the sunroof tinted if you can't source one. (Their about $500ish new from Mazda)

I would hate the glass sunroof without the cover. Don't know how hot it gets in Ohio, but the 100+ summer weather in Texas makes it a necessity. I know you said you would probably only use it when parked, but the factory cover opens with the sunroof anyway. So, unless you are just driving around with it slightly cracked open, you don't even notice it's there. Just my humble opinion.

We have a few hot days here in Ohio, of course it can 100 on one day and snowing the next. Most of the time its cloudy around here. I can say it will be easy to put steel roof back in it.

As for the cause, check the switch in the dome-light assembly. I know they are prone to having the contacts break.
