Did anyone experiance a sunroof installation on their colt? I'm thinking of getting a full opening sunroof from the junkyard off a mirage or some similar vehicle, and I was just wondering if it's such a hard job. Let me know anything that you know... I'd appreciate the info. Thanks!

How'd you use a dremel? That's a small weak tool for such a major job.... No?

Also, when you cut the hole out, how did the sunroof glass go into between the frame of the car and the headliner? Is it the type of sunroof frame or just the way you do it. Do you understnad what Im saying?> haha..

Yea but can you explain how it was done. Does the window only rais up or can it acutally slide towards the rear so you can stick your head out? That's what I want...... haha!

How do you get these to seal after all those years? I had an aftermarket sunroof in my car, and it was leaking badly after the 13+ years it was in there.
My buddy would like to stop the leaking. Any idea on that?
To go back on topic, I think this should also be considered when installing such a roof.
