Hey guys, I just purchased a black 2g, its a great car but I have one problem with it. No sunroof and I desperately want a sunroof. biggrin.gif

Manual would work for me, but power would be fantastic. Anyone have any experience on how much it costs to have one installed? Any reputable shops? Any Recommendations?

I was thinking about making a trip to the junkyard and sawzalling the roof of a sunroof'd car and taking the whole peice to the bodyshop where they could cut and weld the sunroof portion of the roof onto my car. How realistic is this? Any cost estimates from anyone who has experience with bodywork?

I just need to get one from somewhere somehow..any help will be appreciated. biggthumpup.gif

On my 1g, it had an aftermarket sunroof installed sometime in the early-mid 90's...

One day when I was driving it, I opened my sunroof @ about 35mph and the whole thing just SHATTERED ..

Long story short, I went 3 months throughout the summer with a GIANT hole in my roof...Ended up flooding my car 5 times when it rained...

Later on, I met a guy that with a modded Audi TT that I hung out with...One day I found out that he worked at an Upholestry/Sunroof shop, and he checked my roof out...

Long story short, I had to get an ENTIRE NEW unit, $400 retail which I got with a 'family/friend' discount of $250...

Its pretty expensive work man, I say just leave the car the way it is!
