Sunroof steel panel - need one!
I'll also put this in car/parts wanted......
Mine is very rusty on the inside & has caused a few spots to start coming through on the outside, so ideally a 'new' lid would be best.
My Highline is due to go in for a few bits of bodywork shortly, so I want to give a 'new' lid to the painter, whilst he's doing the rest. Then I can change it in my own time, without leaving the car devoid of roof panel.....!

Not a bad idea, I think Sharkfan 'slid' this issue in front of us some time ago, I remember the topic 'raised' quite a lot of interest.....horsetan wrote:Why not be different and see if you can find a glass "moonroof" instead
If anyone doesn't come back on this one, I'll have to hope that Fritz will have one in stock.

Its almost certainly repairable, but I'd be much happier with a 'new' good one - I might even use the 'old' one as a pattern to try & get a glass one made - reckon there are a few potential buyers on here.......?

This is something that did occur to me.joe wrote:do you think all the roofs in that era are the same size
The E23 group on the BMW Car Club GB Forum speculated that it would be a direct fit. Not sure what happened after that.....
Re: moonroof
True. Wonder what it would cost to incorporate solar panels in the glass.....joe wrote:i cant imagine bmw re-tooling for different models due to costs...
