Sunroof as a side window

[goldcoop]

Malcolm-

So, I guess I'm the one to blame?

Cool, glad to see someone run with it!

They look GREAT, a bit pricey but as you said the quality is there!

An idea for a screen (actually credit goes to Len Dadonna) Bridal Viel material! It has small holes in it to keep no-see-ums out, is cheap, easily sewn and could be connected with simple velcro!

Cheers,

Coop

I thought this was a great idea.
I ordered 2 of the 17"X17" from CL Laurance.
They came in today, I'll install them tomorrow and post pictures on Monday.

Those look great! Are those sunroof panels removable? I was just wondering because it has a funny looking hinge.

Hi Asian, all

Yes they usually unclip as well if you want to. There is another source of these (in UK assume US the same) from breakers yards many cars have these fitted as standard or option, the following link show's a fitting but its easy to see how you would remove from a car.

I dont reccomend using an angle grinder to cut out the shape, the hot fillings get embedded into glass, you wont notice straight away, but after a short will you will see little rust blobs.....

Best method in metal if your ever need to update your auto is tape and use a jigsaw....

for wood its real easy................

The instructions say the glass is removable but I didn't try it yet.
