    Glass Moonroof question...

    Anyone that has put one in their car - please PM me. I am getting ready to do the job myself.

    I have the roof now, and the shade is on its way.

    if it is an original panel then its no problem. Panel is easy to replace. If not, then its a PITA. I'm dropping mine off next week sometimes since it aftermarket and I dont feel like putting up with the hassle.

      I think this one is OEM. How can I tell?

        Another thing - anyone replace the seal around the sun/moon roof? I am speaking of the mouse fur type sear that is around the roof.

              i heard for the glass roofs that the seals are NLA. I could be mistaken though.

                    I pulled out the stock metal roof today, and compared the seal on the glass roof. It is 100% exactly the same. I am going to get the part number, and then I will post it here.

                      Real OEM prices are always wrong. But I think I would only need the lower two parts. #1 I do not think I will need. I will have to check it out.

                            I thought mine was too - but I looked real close and began taking it off. Do you have any markings in your glass roof? (brand)

                              it doesnt matter which you use i dont think. a seal is a seal as long as its all the way around
