has any one themselves put a sunroof in a third gen firebird?
im thinkin bout doin it but was just wonderin if any 1 had any sugestions

 

There was a 91 bird at a local show i went to that had a sunroof. If your heart is set on it go ahead i personally thought it looked like ***. just my 2 cents

 

I know someone on this board did it awhile ago. I just don't remember who. I personally don't like sun roofs at all. At least not on third gens. They look out of place. Not to mention many of them look cheap.

T-Tops look way better IMHO. But it can be done if you are really set out to do it. Be careful though aftermarket stuff like that can leak really bad if not done perfectly.

 

My Bird came with a sunroof when I bought it.
No leaking problems at all.
But if I had a choice,I would't put it in,it just looks better without it i.m.o.!

 

I got a sunroof on my 89 that the guy before me had put in. Its nice, not as nice as T tops but nice. The only think I can really say about it is, it will look funny if your car is any other color besides Black. Just think about a White car with a huge black square on the roof...prettty silly if ya ask me.

 

Here is a pic of mine. I had it profesionaly installed. Its garented
not to leak for life. If it does they will fix it for free. Ive had it for 3 years and no leaking yet. It only cost me about 300 bucks to have done.

 

personally if i was gonna have it done id just go with ttops instead of the sunroof...just my .02

 

do you have any idea what t tops would cost to put in! its outragously expensive. i saw another post on here and someone found a place to charge like 3 grand for the tops and labor.

 

EDIT~geez i was just giving my opinion

nope didnt know about the price of having them installed cuz i dont have any desire for them..i was just saying that if it were me i dont like sunroofs i would go with ttops...but like i said before "JUST MY .02"

 

sorry, didnt mean to offend you

 

that thing with the black square in a white roof has changed my mind
maybe ill cut off the roof and make a custom convertible
thanks for the ideas

 

You can get the T-Top car conversion done for around $1300.00 labor and around $400 per T-Top to get them new.

www.markscustomkits.com is reported to do an excellent job with the conversion.

T-Tops are great. I wouldn't buy a car without them. Mine don't leak and they don't really make any noise. If given the choice between sunroof and hardtop I'd keep the hardtop. Another idea is to go targa top. That would be cool.
