hmm... well, I just got mine replaced (my '94 moon roof). It cost $3275 at the dealer (parts and labor), so I wouldn't think it's that incredibly easy. Someone told me it wasn't that bad, but I wasn't down for trying it myself.

$3275?!!! You must really like your moonroof. I would have just welded it shut and forget about it! :p
That's like....getting a built engine w/3mm apex seals. Or a nice T-78 turbo kit. But then again, you're probably doing that now huh?....

Damn, why would it cost so much!? I assume it should be just a replacement of the piece of roof, and the mechanism remains the same. That is a little pricy for replacement.

I've done it. Yes, its pretty simple/straightforward to do. The metal sunroof and glass moonroof interchange perfectly. There's just 4 bolts that hold each of them to the assembly so you just unscrew the metal roof and drop in the glass moonroof :-) No need to touch the mechanism at all.

What about the sliding shade panel? how hard was it to install that?
Is the Glass moonroof contoured to the "bubble shaped" roof like the metal sunroof?
thanks

BTW, there's a big difference between replacing the whole sunroof/moonroof assembly and just the roof portion. The roof portion is cake in comparison.
