Sunroof Question

[tweeky95]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, and I have a question I'm dying to ask. I have a 1995 z26 that I love. I love everything about the car..except one little thing.

It doesn't have a sunroof!

I was thinking about having one installed, but im unsure of one thing. Should I buy an aftermarket one, or can I go to the junkyard and get an OEM assembly? I would really rather have an OEM one. Any advice would be awesome! Thank you!

As you can see, the OEM one would be too hard to put in. This is my first car with a sunroof and I fear that large hail will break the glass and my car will fill up with rain water. The aftermarket ones are a thicker, but most are powered. To me it's just something else that may cause problems down the road.

Oh wow, I see.

I do understand that it is something that can cause more trouble down the road, but theres something about sunroofs I love! I guess I'll have to go down to the install shop and ask if they have any that aren't powered. I'm just looking for a simple, manual one.

Thanks for the picture.

I dont think installing one would be that difficult if you are good with a welder. Make sure you grab the drain lines that run down the A & B pillars out through the rockers. They are hidden behind the interior panels.

Best way to install a factory sunroof is to pull all glass, and then remove the eintre roof by drilling out the spot welds and transfering that roof to your car. I've seen in done before but he was a body guy, so the end result was seam less, and amazing in my mind that he would go that far for a sunroof.
