Has anyone added a sunroof to their car that did not come with one?

Just trade your car with a non slicktop, Don't be a lazy bitch.

Lots of people want those for track use.

I always thought those canvas ragtops were cool.

Would you take $140 shipped to 98465?

Do they make a kit to convert my car to one?

I will take my time and mesure it all out properly, don't worry.

Have you ever had your headliner out? Let's just say your are in for alot more work than you think.

It is still going to be less work then swaping all my parts into a sunroof car. I would end up swaping my headliner and cut the hole in it any way because it is too hard to find cars with black headliners.

Have fun.

This is the price to pay to do it right. And you can paint the headliner black. If your serious about taking a can opener to that rare car...go all the way...California top is the way to do it. The fully retractable canvas type.

What parts do you have on your car? I'm sure you find someone that would trade you a equal or nicer car for yours.

Let him do it, then wait for his thread in 4 months when it starts to rain when he complains and bitches about how it leaks.

The local E30 PRO-3 guys are all over non-sunroof cars. We have to take sunroof, and all the associated tracks and brackets out, both to reduce weight, and to fit the roll cage tighter to the roof. Then we have to weld in a seal shut the opening. Extra steps that just add to the build process.

Is this an M20 car or M42?

To answer your question, to try to retrofit a factory sunroof would take a lot of work. There's a lot of tracks, runners, motors, etc to install above that headliner. And every time I pull a headliner out of a parts car, I wonder how the heck BMW fit them in. Very fragile and sort of tough to secure at the edges. I would have hated to be Franz on the BMW assembly line putting in headliners. Putting headlight buckets in would be a lot easier on the back. LOL.

Do you know of a clean car that is similar that has a black headliner and a sunroof and they would want to trade? That would be awsome.
