DO NOT DO IT! you will have nothing but trouble with it. It will leak like a siv. The only sunroof i have ever seen put into one of our cars is the one on my 91. That was installed by the dealer and done professionaly. The headliner was re-done, its all power and doesnt leak. Im sure it cost the origional owner a pretty penny. If the car is a hard top leave it. Unless you get a pro to put one in.

I hate to see someone do that and have problems, especially one you make the hole, you really cant go back.

I dont know how hard it would be to install yourself? Probably not very fun at all, but I did like mine alot! No leaks what so ever for me. This is my old car with a power (slide n glide) one on it. Installed professionally. I wanted t-tops so thats what I have now on my (new to me) iroc. But I cant complain about the sunroof.

Don't do it. I have one in mine that the previous owner installed. It is a pop up style and it never leaks, but it sucks that it ruined my otherwise nice body. If you're gonna do it yourself, man, that takes ***** to just cut out your roof!

I got it......I dont like it. It dont leak but it looks like crap if your car is anythinb but black. Just think nice red car with A BIG BLACK SQUARE ON THE ROOF. If i were you i would save up for a T Top mod. There is a link some where here where they cut the roof of a donar car then mount it to yours.

Well, to be totally honest I don't know just how much this mod would cost, but I'm willing to bet you could find another car with t-tops for less

I went to the web site for that,I think I was KITT or something like that. It cost 1500.00 to 7000.00 dollars, depending on what package you get for your car. I think.The 1500.00
just covers them putting the the t tops on and they dont sand down the welds.There are other packages in between the 1500. and 7000.00. The 7000.00 gets the t's put on the whole car gets body work"i think" Then they paint it whatever cover you want your entire car to be.
