GERMS Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Went to a junk yard yesterday and I miraculously found a Datsun 620, haven't seen to many of them in southern California yards. I noticed it had a sunroof, the type you push up and is split in half. You guys think it's original or is it a universal part? Is it worth taking it off, that way if I ever want a sunroof I can install it, hmmmmmmm? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Leave it where it belongs. Too many roofs have been ruined by crappy aftermarket sunroofs. A roof that wasn't designed to have one isn't...well...designed to have one. 1 Quote Link to comment

inline4 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 ^^^x2^^^ I did however see a nicely done one at the last nicks meet in fullerton. guy grafted the full sunroof from an 80's caddy into a 4 door sedan. nicely done, would do it if I ran across a car that had a sunroof.

hoov100 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 IDK about with 620's but on Z cars the sunroofs where a dealer add on so they could tack more onto the sale price. there a PITA, they leak and rust on Z's. that depends on who installed it, as the sunroof on my old z, never leaked and had no rust, granted the POR'd exposed metal and used a couple tubes of black RTV silicone to seal it.
