Where did you get the sun roof? Who makes it? |
|
So no one has one for sale, Thats had it installed on the car with some pictures so I could see how well it sits or how well it fits to the seal, And is it water tight fit.
|
sun roof from retro-spec
we just cleared our email, one sunroof in stock.
Thanks |
i hear the ones that are available online do not seal or fit so well
|
I just recently noticed even imed the folks in china.. The carbon fiber ones that are sold online by shops that buy them bulk.. They stopped production because the seals have problems working on the car.hence they are now doing a redeveloping a new mold. :icon_tdow

this is tru about the online cf panels. trust me i had one and sent it back. the front of it diped below the roof a bit and the seal would not fit because they made the lips too small and thin.
not sure about retro-spec they seem so make good products though. |

ive always wanted to buy but the car always break down when i have money :P |
I would love to have cf sunroof
|
they do make em. so schweet |
Sweet indeed!
|
shine auto makes these in fiberglass im one of the few that have them and fitment is amazing. other companies dont have good fitment at all, look through threads and youll see the crap tht other companies have done. shine is one of the best on the market right now.
|
ya, dont buy anything from c7 carbon, their quality is still sub standard, the fitment is crap, and their customer support blows dick

Hey guys,
I have some carbon kevlar/carbon fiber/fiberglass sunroofs available for the FC. I am looking for somebody with a clean car to snap some beautiful pictures of the panel fitted. Of course, this would go with a very decent discount. Contact me at: info@carbonrx7.com (I am a GB sponsor here FYI!) Thanks! Marc |
just what i need
|
Hey Weston,
Got your email and will reply you shortly. Marc |

I bought mine from Retro-Spec, which is now C7Carbon I think. The quality was pretty good, only very slight imprefections, nothing that I had issues with. I've seen only 1 other FC with a carbon roof and the quality was not nearly as good as mine. Fitment was ok. The only real issue I ran into was the studs were slightly off and too long for the sunroof headliner to fit right. I used a dremel to shorten the studs and it went on fine from there. I reused the original seal since mine was in perfect condition and I haven't had any issues with water after washing. Even through an auto wash. I'll be honest, I don't drive my car in the rain.
All of the issues I've read about fitment I think come from how hard it is to reinstall. I spent over an hour aligning the sunroof and I still didn't get it perfect. I didn't really notice til I had it all back together, but the passenger side is a little high. But it is a royal pain to align. I usually have mine popped up, so the passenger side being high doesn't matter. Customer service was so so. I had to email and call him on a number of occasions to push him to complete the order. But it wasn't that bad, and I was happy with both my carbon roof and radiator panel. Attachment 679236 Attachment 679237 Attachment 679238 Attachment 679239 |

I did have to glue the seal to my sunroof. And just a warning, be vary careful on how much glue you put into the seal groove. I used a standard rubber glue and I put a little too much in the groove. When I applied the seal to the carbon roof, it oozed out along the edges. I used a towel to wipe up the excess, but it didn't come up 100% and the chemical dulled the clear coat along the seal edge. It isn't really bad, but there are a few smudges and flat clear spots now. Just something to rememeber, the less glue the better.

Any pics of it with the sunroof closed?

bought my carbon fiber sunroof locally a while ago. keeping water out is fine, as long as your sunroof holes have proper drainage.
...however its nice glossy clear coat is becoming kind of buffed, anyone know if a certain sandpaper or rub that will clean it up a bit? |
