quattroPilot Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 perhaps with a regular solid panel sunroof? If it's possible what's the difficulty level like. I'm just not a big fan of glass is all... burns my poor melon If the swap canno't be completed, does the glass roof at least have a fabric cover that one can slide underneath? tia -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 hi there. yes, the glass is removeable. there are two black plastic panels with the obnoxious plastic screws. the sunroof can be unbolted after those trims are removed. there is supposed to be a sliding cover that goes under the glass inside the car. I'd suggest that you have your sunroof tinted limo black. that will be cheaper than having something else made to replace it, since your slider panel is, by the sound of it, missing. you shouldn't need to take the glass out to have it tinted, and it shouldn't cost more than $10-$20.

quattroPilot Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 alright, good suggestion on the tint... more-over what I'm after is if Subaru has a solid aluminum sunroof that substitutes perfectly for the glass. Perhpas out of a Loyal or GL.....? check yah later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 not that i know of. anything like that would probably be a different size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Easiest way is to tint it, second easiest is to grab a complete sunroof assy off another car that still has the shade in it, just swap the whole deal, its only held in with 6 bolts after you get the headliner out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkx Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 is there a certain spot thats well known to leak? i took the buggy through the carwash, and i got hosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 They are designed to leak.. thats why there are four drain tubes.. one at each conrner.. if one (or more ) of those is plugged, you get wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 either the glass itself will swap, or the whole unit as an assembly will swap also. there are shims that adjust how the window fits in its seal. the only case of a leeky 'roof is when it wouldnt close all the way. but that is why there are shims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
