Guest djuk Posted April 1, 2006 Don't ask It's the slightly raised type of sunroof which I think was a dealer option rather than a factory option (although someone might correct me from the pic). Has anybody fitted new glass before or know how much it's likely to cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 10 Posted April 1, 2006 Afraid I can't help with much but that looks remarkably like a factory sunroof. The dealer option ones are flat to the roof and hinge up at the back. Factory fit are a large glass panel that slides back. wrt price, I'd get one second hand. Its only a piece of glass and most cars being scrapped will have one in so there should be plenty available for not much. Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob In which case you're right it's a factory fit one, slides backwards with no lift or hinge. Cheers David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Weaver 2 Posted April 1, 2006 Get to the scrappers!! I assume you cracked it whilst doing the seals and tightening the screws up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonmurgie 2 Posted April 1, 2006 That's definately the factory fit roof, you can tell by the windscreen rubber as it has a flared top edge to act as a bit of a wind deflector... if it's a dealer or aftermarket fit they obviously don't swap the windscreen rubbers! So yeah, should be easy to find a replacement at a scrappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d-9 0 Posted April 1, 2006 Do you have to pull a little flap down to release the vacume in the seal? If so its the factory one. There was also a dealer fit one that slides rather than tilts, for which you push a little button and slide it back, if its one of these Ive got a spare glass in reading which you can have for £20.

Jonmurgie 2 Posted April 1, 2006 I had the dealer fit sliding roof on the Topaz... the key to identifying which roof you have is in the windscreen seal as I mentioned before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daxed 7 Posted April 2, 2006 David, Nice teasing pic you've used, you can almost see the sunroof from that angle. I have the factory fit vacuum sealed full glass panel available for £35 collected from Woking. Failing that then as previously stated have a nose around the scrappies.
