We are currently building a 31 Model A 5 window coupe for a customer that has asked about having a sunroof installed in it. Is there anyone that offers a kit for installing something like this or has anyone attempted something like this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kurt
Try to talk him out of it. :3dSMILE: :3dSMILE: :3dSMILE:

Not all that tough to do, I've done it for customers but never one for myself..... Last one I put in was in a steel Deuce Sedan, used the whole roof section out of a Mid-90's Grand Prix, worked good. About 6 months after the car was done, the owner said he wished he would have listened when I tried to talk him out of it.... Even a well done install for some reason just looks out of place on a hot rod.......
I have already tried to talk them out of it. I will however try again. I was looking at using something out of a latemodel car but was wondering if anyone sold a kit specificatley for this. I don't like the idea at all but it's not mine so if I exhaust all of my resources before any decisions are made I'll feel alot better about it.

Dave and I were pretty much saying the same thing. These cars just don't look right with a sunroof installed in them.

How about a sliding canvas top like the VW bus had? It would give you a working top with the option of letting in the sun without looking so out of place.
I remember an article from a few years ago from one of the big rod magazines----It dealt with using the motorized retractable 'moon roof" from an Audi being swapped into a model A sedan. The nice thing about the Audi "moon roof" was that when it is closed the contour of the roof is unbroken.
