Can you do a sunroof transplant from GPX to GS?

Post by ftogsuk »

Hi I am new to the site and my first post, basically a question - Can you remove the sunroof or the whole roof panel from a GPX and fix it to a GS. If yes can someone point me to a guide with the pictures / commentaries . thank you

you can do almost anything if your have the money. 8)

I hear that most of these sunroof installations don't work out too well as water usually gets in and rust develops at a later stage. I personally wouldn't bother.

Hey mate not sure about the sunroof but I have a question for you. From your above post Im gueesing that you have a GS model FTO. If thats the case could you do me a favour and let me know the transaxle code of your car. Thanks heaps and sorry to steal your thread.

just an example of generic sunroofs, they quoted me 1700$

i'm sure there are others and probably for cheaper, but that's your ball park figure :)

There's potential for a thread about anything on FTO Australia
