That seems a little fishy to me. I never knew that. I always wished the sunroof could act as a moonroof too.

I think it must have come off of a 96, but it is not a stock item. Just my guess. He may not know that they did not come with a glass sunroof. Unless it is some rare part that we have not heard about yet.

I figure it's either a mistake or an aftermarket piece.

This was on ebay a while ago and I emailed the guy. He insists that it is off of a svx. There is something wrong with this. No SVX came with a glass sunroof.

Maybe it was a custom job? That does look like the panel on our cars just with glass in place of the metal. Of course it could also be one of those cheap cut a hole in your roof deals for cars without a sunroof.

I remember something like a certain model Legacy had a glass moonroof that was a direct fit. So maybe he's parting out his SVX in which someone before him had installed one. Just a guess...

I don't remember if the direct fit glass was a Legacy or an Impreza, but it was a JDM model, so I doubt this is one of them.

the sunroof panel on the svx is exactly the same as the impreza coupe. The impreza coupe was available with a glass sunroof panel in europe, so that would be the direct fit.

How do you know this Mike?

Would the curvature of the roofs be the same?

any way of finding out a part number for it?

Glass

My 94 LE has a glass sunroof that was installed by the Subaru dealer when the car was new. Actually I love it except for one thing. It tries to lift up at about 135 MPH.

Yes, and Mike, can I buy one through you? This is something I was always interested in, since a sunroof cant possibly be that expensive. Thanks!
