power sunroof conversion?
Thursday, March 17, 2005 4:14 PM
i need to know if anyone has any information on how to do this..we have a old 240 with a popup sunroof..and would like for a project to put in a power one...we don't have a huge budget..but we have something to spend on this..so how do we do this..do we just cut a power sunroof from a scrap car and put it on?..can we take one of a cavalier?also witch type will be easier..the sunroof going into the car..or popping out.like on my z24?any suggestions would be appreciated

ok..so i called a bodyshop and they told me this.....they said they do custom work and that a custom sunroof will be no problem..i told them what i got and they said ideally they would like a hardtop to begin with..having a popup one is actually harder..and that if you want a slider..meaning the ones that go "into" the car it's alot more and not worth it..but then they did say a word that near and dear to my heart.."t-top"..anyways thats enough info for now...how cool would a t-top 240 be?answer=very

I think a t-top is bad for the structral integrity of the car, you might want to check into that. But it would be cool, i though of doing that to my old 93 sc2

structral integrety blah blah,,,lolol..no actually its going to be reinforced at other key spots..you think anyone has ever done this to a 240? t-top240.i like the way it rolls off your tongue...and i know these guys do good work..my mechanic has grown up with the owner of the shop and they've been doing cool things to cars for a long time..so hopefully this works out..if not it doesn't matter.
