Sunroofs

[jaxon23]

Who all has put one in their HB and what kind and size? I was wanting to do one in mine soon and just trying to get a look at a few.

[pugz]

most the ones ive ever seen are just the pop up roofs. my buddy is aboutto put on in my old hb

[Smoke]

I'd love to do one of the power moon roof kits, or a nice sliding rag...but I hear horror stories of how they always leak.

have you had any problems with it leaking or any other issues since it wasnt factory?

[$krap_IN_flesh]

I didn't ever till 2 drips dont mean locationjust 2 drips this weekend but I think those just got trapped when I close while raining

[KENDIG]

thats cool glad you havent had any problems because i really want one. maybe ill get one when i get my bonus check from work

[nissan1995]

wat size would u go with on the x-cab?

[$krap_IN_flesh]

I tell ya I had the same exact one in my xcab yota just a pop out roof picked up at a swap meet for $15 in the HB $20 for the yota's

[tattoos&minitrucks]

what about the head liner...do U just cut same hole in it....does the seal go over both.....sorry for all the ???? I just dont want to fuck this up

[$krap_IN_flesh]

with yota I had cut the hole into the interior and had to cut the rods down so they would still hold up. nissan doesn't have a headliner in it since I keep changing my mind on what I am goin to use in it

[tattoos&minitrucks]

thanks for info

[sparkinframe]

i have a sunroof from a mazda(i think) and i have had no leaks for 2 years. just uses urithane under the metal part that sandwitches the roof.
i wanted to use a stock hb sunroof, but nissan uses drip lines to divert water rather than sealing it compleatly.

[slammed_86]

hell if i ever get my ass in gear and order my sliding rag, i slice out my stock sunroof and sell it to u cheap lol

[minitrucker6669]

i have a factory one :)

[Jokr]

anyone know where i can get a new seal for mine it leaks like af if the sunroof wasnt on there at all?

[manic_mechanic]

get a sliding rag top. thinkin a bout takin my roadster body off the frame and replacing it with a stock cab and putting a sliding rag top in it.

[steadywestcoastin]

[lolyfe]

i have a 35x35 sliding rag top that fit pretty good

[drginazzhb92]

i have herd sliding rags leak alot....just wondering cause i want one but not if its goin to leak all the time

[dwnshfter]

pics of the sliding rag?

[IThaJokaI]

Anyone know of a sun/moonroof that slides up and out when opened? I want an electric one, but us single cabs dont have enough room to put it under the head liner lol.

[dwnshfter]

those are called spoiler sunroofs, they are aftermarket. just go to any shop that installs sunroofs and they will sell you one. look on ebay once you get a name brand....

What car/truck did this sunroof come off of?

[VIPHB]

anyone know where i can get one One thing im in OZ an i got a DUAL CAB my roof is same width just im looking around 1200mm long yeh im metric

[$krap_IN_flesh]

it said ford tarus but its just a universal popout sunroof picked it up at a swap meet

[nissan1995]

wat size sunroof/rag top would u guys go with on an x-cab? could u go wide enuff to shave the roof gutters with it? did u reinforce the roof?

[sparkinframe]

no need to reenforce the roof. the sun roof frame takes care of that.

however there is some _--_ shaped reenforcements that need to be cut.

[Ruben]

it said ford tarus but its just a universal popout sunroof picked it up at a swap meet

Ok cool.. The reason I asked is because it looks to fit the contour of the top pretty well.. Thanks! :dathumb:

[IThaJokaI]

Damn I forgot about this thread. Does anyone know of a "spoiler sunroof" that is manual? Im more worried about weight than most people, but dont want to lose my sunroof for smoke venting.

[sparkinframe]

im useing a sunroof from a mazda car (forget the model, didnt realy care at the time)
just go to a junk yard, and find one. i think most rooves are about the same contour.

[KENDIG]

for those of you that have a sun roof how big is it? i was looking at some but they all seem kinda large to fit. found one thats 18x30 and one thats 15x 30. 30 seems kinda wide to me in a single cab hb. opinions????

[$krap_IN_flesh]

I am putting in a 17x30 in my buddies 90 yota pick up mine I believe is a 15x30 I have one laying here the same size as mine but it is for my s10 I will have to measure it for u

i guess if yours is 30 wide it must not be to big. maybe i will get the 14x30

[1lomofo]

mines oversized and comes out, i guess its what you call a moon roof

[$krap_IN_flesh]

actually what we usually call sunroofs are actually moon roofs a true sunroof doesn't open, slide or popout at all just a stationary piece of glass. and mine is removable 2

[minijdm95]

can u give me full instructions on that roof like wre is that from???

That's what I have.... but it's leaked from day one. I hate it, because water seems to sit in between the gasket. :mad:

I'm looking to get the electric one later. It has gutters and a drain line.

[1lomofo]

Thank god i i dont have a prob with leaking.. your right cuz when i wash it water does sit in between the gasket. as soon as you open it, drip drip, i hate that! lol ... but mine dont leak, i dont even have wind noise going down the road

[KENDIG]

mine leaked for like one day until i put silicon under the gasket. havent had a problem with it since. i dont have any wind noise from mine either

[97xenissan]

does anyone have any pics of a sliding rag in a hardbody or have one i want to get one but i drive everyday rain or shine so do they leak, noisy, pros and cons anyone???

[88hb]

I've known 2 guys with sliding rag tops, both had leak problems altho one was small and the other was huge. the dew that would form at night would find it's way in. not cool!!

[97xenissan]

Well I'm looking at a 35"x35" sliding rag its not a streetbeat its a britax or something like that
