i have one been trying to sell

 

Where did you get the sun roof? Who makes it?

 

I emailed these guys and it bounced with a mailbox full error. So I called them and it went straight to voicemail.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Any idea when the new ones will be on the market?

Best regards

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

 

my gawd.

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

do you know where i can find a glass sunroof found it before but dont remember where?

 

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.

Thanks!

what kinda price are we talking ( price without it being a clean car seeing as how I'm waiting for paint) I would def be interested in one

 

I pm you now! Sorry for the delay!

 

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.

 

Did you had to glue the rubber seal to the sun roof?
