sun roof installation
« on: February 27, 2007 - 03:41:07 AM »
I know factory sunroofs are a rare option.  Has anyone retro-fitted one on a  72 cuda?  Are there other models/doner cars which have a similar top which might be more readily available?  I had heard that the mercury cougar from the late 60's/early 70's used the same top. Does anyone have pictures of a swap and/or the individual pieces?  Were these power operated and ifso, where is the switch?  Interior headliner finish?

i have an extensive knowledge of the power sunroof product from the mid 80's to present, i also have a pretty good understanding of the earlier sunroofs that were offered in the us car market, these sunroofs were mad by asc  , the company still exsists but there is nobody in the current company that was there then.  they have gone through many corporate changes,    i believe your cougar question to be correct, however, it would take someone with a decent handle on welding and preping for a swap,you would have to have and entire roof skin from the cougar, they were flanged, put in place ,then welded,  i have personaly put in over 1000 power moon roofs over the past 22 years. i just left the company i was affiliated with after 22 years for a career change just last week! i have a pretty good grasp on what it might take,  good luck , incidentaly, i wanna do the same! after being in that industry for so long , i think it only fitting to start seeking sunroof cars!
