alright, well my car has a sunroof and it never had a little slide cover on the inside of the car to block the sun out from comming through the sun roof.. I was wondering if it was supposed to have one or if it never had one to begin with. . if it is supposed to have one.. where can I get it??? THANKS!!
 
I had one and got rid of it because it was such a piece of garbage. The plastic clips that held it in didn't hold up very well. I liked to get caught on the retractor mechanism for the roof. And it rattled like a trap. First thing I did was get rid of it. I believe many other owners did the same thing.
 
My car came with one and it comes in handy when I forget my sunglasses and the sun comes blaring in blinding me. I've have yet to have a problem with it and it doesnt rattle or catch in the sunroof mechanism for me. Knock on wood I guess.
 
min only rattles when the cover is all the way back. its very annoying but i need the cover so it doesnt get to hot during the summer. try shifting with an alumnium knob thats been cooking in the sun for a few hours.
 
My 96 TSi came with one, the first mod i did to the car was in the dealership's parking lot. I tore the damn thing out.

It rattled like hell during the test drive, and felt very heavy to open. I wish i had an operable one though...




:dsm:jay
 
i have one that is out of a 95 eagle talon... i dont use it so if anyone would like to buy it i will sell to you, just throw an email my way
 
My 96 Talon came with one, but I removed it. I could hear my subs rattling it, and it ended up getting stuck open, and I had to pull it all out. Meh, the sun coming through tinted glass is almost none, so I don't really mind it. Plus, looks nicer IMO.
 
My eclipse had one, I took it out when I rebuilt the sunroof but I'm putting it back in because I hate the sun shining down on me.

For some reason mine came with half of one.
Which is so stupid.
I can only black half the sun.

It's a two part piece. Seems like its busted dude. You're probably missing the half that has the handle :confused:

Since you're an N/T, it might be an aftermarket roof installed by a dealer. If it's a factory roof, it would have had a shade at some point, and places like Mitsubishi Graveyard, one of our fine sponsors, will be able to help you out. They also show up on eBay, or are available at the junkyard. I'd expect the Avenger/Cirrus roofs to be the same parts.
You pull the glass to install it, and here, again, is how:

Most factory sunroofs come with the sunshade but, some sunroofs are installed aftermarket or at the dealership of which most of these don't come with a sunshade. Have seen a few high quality aftermarket sunroofs that did have on though.

Mine doesn't rattle at all. Works Perfect.


Same here, my Eclipse has it and it works fine. But i bought my Talon without it, but i can see where it had been there at one time, I plan on getting one for it because it is very annoying on a very sunny day without it sometimes, but i guess thats just personal choice.
 
Mine didn't have one, so I doubled up the tint.

No problems.
