    E30 Glass Sunroof Q&A

    Looking for some advice on refurbishing an E30 Glass sunroof. I found a grey market e30 at a junk yard and this beaut was in great shape. Well glass was in great shape, the rails and trim was a different story. The rails are pretty rusty and the trim was peeling away.

    Used a heat gun and razor to remove the rails, trim, and sealant. I'm having new rails made and powder coated. Currently sanding the trim, prepping and painting trim black.

    I'm wondering who has done this before and if they have any tips. I'm not sure what sealant to use to attach trim back to the glass.

    I'm also getting mixed information on what sun roof seal to order? If someone can tell me what seal fits that would be great!

    It would be great to see other glass top E30's as well and any DIYs would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    I'm about to start on the same project. Did you ever get any feedback on how best to fit the glass sunroof/moonroof? Any personal tips you have? Thanks so much!
