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.

the rooves on the sunroof/non sunroof models are different, there is a groove in the non sunroof which is not present in the sunroof model...

im sure someone will dig up a picture...

it has been done before but not with the factory sunroof (i dont think)

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.

no problem, but where do I find it and why do you need it anyway - you know curiosity

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 :)
