I don't know what your feelings are with this but have you ever thought about adding a sun roof? Esp. since you have the top ripped open ahaha.

^^ i thought the same thing, but to inlay a piece of glass in the middle. not make it a functional moving sunroof but to have something there.

off topic...how does the body molding around the driver and passenger windows go on and off? looks like there weere holed in the pillars for it to snap down? my drivers side is pulling up in the very back over the window and would like to remove it, clean under it and maybe use some 3M tape to secure it down.

all the outside trim bolts on. there shouldn't be any 3M tape on it.

bolts on or snaps on? can it be removed from pulling it off or do you need to get at anything from the inside?

it all bolts on. there are some small nuts on the back side of the trim. DO NOT TRY AND UN-SNAP IT! you will break the trim (fiberglass)

look in the pica and see where i pulled the trim on the inside, notice the access holes on the rear pillars. i forget the number of bolts but i think there are about 5.

great pic, thanks. ill do some investigating on my own as well.

it is just the rear most part of the window molding that it slightly popping up. makes me believe that something is either loose or broke.

im assuming ill need to remove the weather stripping from inside to access these nuts.

yes, you have to remove the smaller front piece first then remove the large back piece. be careful the smaller one slips into the larger one and you can break it off. the small front piece has some screws holding it on from the bottom under the weather strip. the large one removes with the nuts from inside the car behind the rear panel. i tired to use paint and modify the picture but it didn't work...lol.
