Glass Sunroof?

I wanna take the current sunroof on my car and attach a glass top sunroof, that way even with it closed I can still see the sky. Are there any bolt-in's availible aftermarket?

do you have the touring sunroof? 93 was hardtop, 94+ was glass top

you can just get the appropriate pieces and do the swap yourself

Is it hard work to take the metal sun roof out and put the glass one in ? Do you need to remove the headliner to do it ?

It's called a moonroof BTW. I don't know about any aftermarket moonroofs, but a shop can easily do it.

FYI: Glass roofs came *only* on 1994 Touring models, they were not on 94 PEP or PEG or whatever it was called in the second half, and were not available in 93 or 95.

You can purchase the glass roof directly from Mazda, if memory serves me it's around $450. I no longer have the receipt for mine, so I can't look it up, but I've posted it before, so you might search for posts I've done with the word "roof" in them. It will probably be a LOT cheaper to get one from a junk yard - being that it's glass, if it's not cracked, it'll be in good shape (being that it can't bend or dent)

I swapped mine over to glass.
Its attached by a few 10mm nuts.
Took all of 5 min to swap out.

I have one for sale... but I need to wait for the car to get fully stripped .... PM me...

And even though it landed on it's roof... It's not cracked or damamged... I can get you pictures if you want...
The Hinges are screwed, but I guess you'd want to keep those anyhow... (that's also why it's not that easy to remove right now).
