Here are some pics of my newly installed ( by yours truly ! ) pop-up sunroof. It's a Webasto that I found in a Mitsubushi Mirage at my local junkyard. $19.50 and about 2hrs. of time and I now can look at the stars while I'm cruising down I-40 ( wait, where did that semi come from ?!?!?!?! ) :blink: I will have to admit that it was a little nerve-wracking cutting into the roof on my Terc ! but now that it's in, I do love it !! and it definitely helps on the ventilation ! Does anybody know if it would compromise the structural integrity of a Terc. if you put one of these behind the center dome lamp, above the rear seat ???

Did the same for mine. Picked one up out of a subaru. the glass is removable. Cost me $20 as well at the local "grocery" store.

Looks good. It's one of those "should have done it years ago" items isn't it!!!! :D

Absolutely !! It does help the air-flow through the car, and since my A/C doesnt' work, the car is much more comfortable than it would be without the sunroof.

Have any of you ever seen the Land Rover Discoverys with the dual sunroofs ?? I'm thinkin' about doing the same thing. I might have to photoshop one of the pics of mine and see how it would look .......not sure if it'd be the equivalent of a "two-holer" outhouse back in the day here in the "rural" areas, which was a good thing.....or if it'd just make the car look like a P.O.S. any ideas ?? structural issues with the body of the car ?? any advice would be appreciated ! :)
