Re: no maintenance sunroof?

["Alan Kramer" <ackramer@hotmail.com>]

I'm working on a moonroof for my '83 CGT, dunno if it's the same design 
or not, but here's an easy solution.   I found a guy who cut a piece of 
28% tint tempered glass to fit the hole left from the removal of my old 
roof.  That cost $45.  I used the black adhesive (can't remember the 
name, but can tell you later) that's used for mounting windshields.  The 
stuff is bomb-proof and seals very well (and it's a pain to get off your 
fingers)...  I used it to mount two aluminum brackets I made (to retain 
function of the roof) but you could use it to seal the glass to the roof 
of the car. It comes in a tube that you stick into a caulk gun to use.  

I'm not worried about not matching the curve of the roof.  My piece of 
glass fits so that it is about 3/16" too low in the middle, and even w/ 
the roof on the outer edges.  But from more than 10' away, it looks 
perfect.   I wouldn't think the 4k would be much different.

HTH,
Alan
