I love my moonroof too!
I got mine off eBay a few months ago. (US$140)
It is in very good condidtion, I had to replace some of the studs/bolts on it, apart from that it's sweet...sadly it's not the bronze version.
Also we never got them in Australia so its rare as rocking horse **** over here...just don't ask me how much I paid for postage to get it to me!!!!

I see them every now and then in the For Sale section, but I never have the money when I do. Hopefully I can get one this yaear since the wind noise gets annoying at highway speed with the metal panel out. I still want the sunlight but with less of a headache.

The glass moonroof/sunroof is one of the times where the fitment issue is not "SA vs FB," but rather, "<='79 vs >='80".
The '79 & previous sunroof latches & hinges are very different from the ones used on the '80-'85. I have a glass moonroof from an '83, fits my '80 perfectly.
Essentially, if you have the "latch" type rear mechanism on your sunroof, you need the '79 and earlier version. If you have the "twist to raise" rear mechanism, you need the '80-'85 version.
I bought my moonroof through the 1st gen for sale section here on the forums; I'm currently restoring the hardware (rusted and worn) & documenting as I go in my "Project Resurrection" thread. Wanted one for ages.

Moonroof stuff starts with the last post; probably more going up tonight or tomorrow, as I get to work on the latch mechanism.
