Glass Sunroof??

Bwana · #1 03-12-2003, 01:36 PM

Has anyone attempted to get a glass sunroof made? That's the only thing i miss about the sunroof. I havent looked under the head-liner of the sunroof, but i would assume there's nothing between it and the outside, so nothing to obstruct the view.

Any ideas?

I've seen a few postings on this forum about the Impreza glass sunroof having the proper dimensions, but I haven't seen anyone following through with a success story.

Someone here has a 94 or 95 L and it had a glass sunroof installed (well...flip-up style)

As to replacing the stock sunroof I don't think it has been done yet.

Anyone have the funds and/or desire to try this? If they are successful, they have atleast one customer.

I have a 94 with a dealer installed glass sunroof. It operates the same as the factory except it is a little smaller (same width). I love it except for the fact that it tries to lift at about 130. Hummm--was i going that fast?

The headliner is slightly different as is the sunroof control.

The Glass GC8 (2.5RS 1st Generation) moonroof from the non NADM vehicles is a directly bolt-in replacement for our roof.

Ooo, thank's paisan. Got a part number? I'm feeling quite lazy at the moment and dont feel like looking it up...maybe when i get home.

It's not a USDM part so you might need to do some research on it. I don't have the part #.

After this mistake I, though temporarily, do feel like a "Loser".

I had a glass roof on my Toyota truck. I loved it and sometimes I miss it. But I wouldn't put one in my SVX. It'd look great on the inside, fully lighting the beautiful interior, but not so great on the outside. The exception in my mind would be black-roofed SVXs. The glass would blend well with those.

Just my opinion. Your mileage is guranteed to possibly vary occasionally.

There is a SVX for sale at my local dealer with a glass roof. I will snap pics tomorrow.

Like I said before. I have one with a glass roof. It is a 94 LE (YES there is an LE) with a dealer installed sunroof. Guess I will have to take a pic of mine.
