Default Does anyone know where to get the parts? >>

For my friend's Coupe GT moonroof. Not sure what exactly is broken but I had to tie the piece down to the handles inside the car to keep it from flipping up and down on it's own. I think that it might be the pins that are guided along the rails. Where can we find these parts?

Thanks...

Try junkyards, the dealership is usually awfully expensive.

Default You'll hate me, but...

I had two sunroof frames a couple years ago, threw them out when I moved. What the heck would anyone want with those? I asked myself.

Definately a junkyard item. Only on the CGT though; the 4k is different. You can remove the entire frame/hinge/pivot assy with a Phillips screwdriver methinks. Your pal probably broke the white metal thing the roof panel pins go into. These will bend (and I guess break) over tiime with use, which is why you rarely see a CGT sunroof that fits right.

Personally, I think the sunroof in these is the DUMBEST thing on the car. Robs headroom, is a beeotch to take in and out, and is small in size. I never take mine out. The holder in the trunk was useful for making a shelf to hang my CD changer on though.

Nowadays, junkyards are expensive. There's too much knowledge these days!

Default Dumbest Sunroof ever

The only time i ever took that thing out was a day after i bought the car, and 2 years later it has never been off.. they make a pontiac's T-tops seem convient..

All it does now is leak, remind me to send the thank-you note to the engineer that desgined that, along with the hippie-glowstick powered headlights and 4-everLok door handles

Default Re: Dumbest Sunroof ever

I've had my CGT for 12 years. Never had it leak, even in some of the worst weather.

Now, I agree it's a PITA to remove. Also, it's design doesn't rob much head room at all(having had a euro CGT without a sunroof, I can confirm), but since the roof is lower then the 4k sedans (if you'll notice you can't use a junkyard 4k windshield on a CGT) this was the only design they could use. It's too bad they didn't use the design you see on cars such as the integra or the CRX.
