Glass moonroof on eBay, only a few hours left!
I'm not selling it, but I have one. They are very rare, and I have one on my car. Very cool. These were the best made, and direct replacement. Only a few hours left.

couple weeks ago I bought an 89 GTU with a glass moonroof...I specifically asked if everything was bolted down. When I checked, not even the hood was. anyway, the guy I bought it from towed it to my house. About 15 minutes into the trip guess what happened... the moonroof flew straight up in the air and smashed into a thousand pieces in the road....I was very pissed

Uh yeah, I bought that. I watched that frigger from day one on E-bay; I was pissed when I saw the thread pop up here
Oh well. I asked our local glass place about making one last year and he told me it would be cheaper to buy a used $300-400 one as it is hard to shape and cut the tempered safety glass.
If I like the fit of this I will see about the cost of replicating it in glass and plastic since our sunroofs rust so damn easily.
Please don't be pissed if you got outbid- look in the sig for the thing of beauty it is helping to create. Ian

I have freinds that work in glass.
I think that they can "slump" a compund curve like that and temper it all in one kiln.
I know they temper glass and slump.
So the curve would require a plate template, but i bet i could talk them into it!
You KNOW ill be checking into this.

I just realized that I can get pretty much any shape glass that I want for dirt cheap. Can someone give me the specs on the replacement? (not trying to steal your idea, Sniper_X, just want to check it out) What about the replacement would make it tough to cut/create?

Well, the tempered glass cannot be slumped (melted into shape) once tempered.
Tempering of glass is when you form microscopic fractures in it.
The fractures are not noticeable to the eye at all, but cause the glass to crack into thousands of pre-determined tiny pieces.
This is whu it cannot be melted after tempering.
