has anyone gone to a glass man and had a glass sun roof cut? or maybe lexan or plexiglass?



on every FC i have ever had, the sun roof rusts out. no matter what. and the stock glass ones rarely come up for sale. and when they do people want 350-400 easily.



so i figured lexan would make a good replacement. plus it would save a few lbs. anyone here done this? got pics?

I have a fancy plastic one on my coupe, Its fancy because it uses the stock rubber gasket, and it has a support frame so it bolts to stock location.



Problem is the damm thing has warped from the heat.

i thought the glass ones were only for the FB's?

did you cut it yourself? how did you match the curve in the roof? (if you did it)

Here is the one I have.. Not a bad looking unit actually, I have never had it out of the cardboard I got it in..

Not sure what the interior side is suppose to have..

sen2two 06-08-2009 12:35 AM

so how much are you asking for it?

Maxt 06-09-2009 06:25 PM

Not really sure what kinda cash I want for it, more into trading for some parts, like a 5 lug swap or suspension parts...
