Now what would you say if I told you it wont work.......
The cars with a sunroof have a flat roof and the non sunroof cars ahve a groove down the middle. Added to that is the fact that the ones with a sunroof have a subframe welded into the roof. You would have to purchase the roof as well to make it work im afraid.

You can add an aftermarket sunroof to just about any car, but a stock fto sunroof probably wont fit due to the width, and it hitting the groves in the roof of the non sunroof cars ..
but yeah, if you have an a/m sunroof that fits within those groves it would work ... I just don't trust non OEM ones, as after a while the tend to leak, or build up rust as the roof is not desinged to drain any excess water that gets trapped there...

Just fill the grooves. sh*t if your going to that much trouble to install a sunroof the little grooves are the least of your problem.
The roof is part of the structaul integrity of the car and as dwayne says if you cut the roof you are going to need to re-strengthen it somehow. THAT IS THE MAIN CONCERN.

Yup, no subframe in the ones with no sunroof to start with. As the roof is part of the structural integrity of the car in the FTO's case, it is definitely an issue.

ok, rebuild your roof, THEN you can buy mine.
Thanks for clearing it up.

This is a bit too much effort for a sunroof. Just open your window and use a mirror to reflect the sun.

you don't need a sunroof, the car is a stunna just the way it is...now could u imagine the FTO as a targa top or possibly aero top...yeh, it would be even more sex!
