Default Sun Roof question

Is there a company out there that makes a high quality sun roof for the Mustang. That is the only thing I wish I had on my Mustang. This is the first car that I have had with out a sun roof. I wish Ford would offer it.

Thanks,

Mark

never seen an 05+ mustang with a sun roof, there's something called a glass back, which is a big sunroof, someone has a picture of it in there sig looks pretty cool from the inside.

I have seen the glass-back roof. It looks nice, but it does not open. I miss the open air. I know, I should have bought a vert. Convertables are just not practicle were I was living at the time. The desert sun tends to rot the top, and the windblown sand tends to gum up the top's mechanism.

I have a moonroof that I had installed after delivery. My dealership actually sent my car to a company that's installed lots of different after-market products on their cars for years. Anyway to answer your question, yes you can put a sunroof in your mustang.It's an inbuilt, Inalpha EVO. It drops open and slides back or pops up. The only drawback is that because of the sloped roof it can't actually open very far, only 9" for 'hands-through' wide open but I love mine. Unless it's raining, it's open. I've only had 1 car out of 6 since I started driving (a while ago lol) that didn't have a sunroof and I won't ever own one again without one. I don't like convertibles but I do need my sunlight!

Do you have a web address for this product? I like the looks of it.

Click on the 'inbuilts' square on the left. They also have a "Find an Installer" link in their menu bar across the top to find someone near you thats certified in the installation. You could also call your local Ford dealerships and ask them who they send their work like this out to. Then I'd ask the shop to supply some customer references to check on their work quality.

looks sweet, would be nice to open all the way but that is a good compromise for the roof line the car has.
