Hey nice job on getting something put together for this. I've always got my eye out for a sunroof plug of some sort to show up on the market, and have about given up as well. I'd prefer something a little less permanent than welding in a frame for it, though.

So, did you weld every one of those tabs in place around the opening? What did you seal the edge with to prevent leaks? Do you have other photos, specifically of the details?

You ought to think about doing a Tech article with this.

Came out nice. Can you take a picture from above view looking down? I would probably go a step further and paint it. There are two ways of doing this. One way is by hand or pad sander using 180 grit sand paper. This process may take some time because you need to remove coating completely. (You can tell the coating is removed when the material is dull after you wipe it with a damp cloth and scratches easily) Another way to remove the coating is by using an economical hand held sandblaster. These are usually under $40.00 and will save you a lot of time. You can follow the directions that came with your sandblaster to remove the coating. (I have found that granulated sugar works better than sand because it is a square granule that disintegrates easily.) Now your coating is removed and you can use any automotive grade paint to black out your window.

After our group buy we are releasing our sun roof replacements. 1gs will require the use of old hardware but the 2gs will come with everything needed.

NICE WORK BTW!

I'd be interested in the 2g rear side windows and rear one for my cf hatch.
