sunroof

[sniper_moe]

I have a 96 sonoma SL, still trying to find out what gen. but i was wondering, what vehicle can i get a sunroof out of that can fit my truck?

you might be able to get one from a 1st generation s10 to fit or do the sliding rag top deal...thats the way i would go

i wouldn't really recomend pulling one out anouther vehicle. You going ot spend more trying to get it to fit and seal than an good aftermarket one would cost.

Two things. I dont know if you were asking what generation truck you had. Here is the way to figure it out. The 1st gen trucks look like mine. The 2nd gen which started in 95 has the body lines of your truck. (Grilles are the only things that will look diff. between early 1st gens and late 1st gens, and also early 2nd gens, and late 2nd gens)

Second, I wouldnt recommend hacking a sunroof out of a vehicle. There are plenty of aftermarket companies that build drop in sunroofs, but it takes you manning up enough to cut a hole in your roof. Im not man enough to do that, but to each his own. You also have to worry about leakage, unless you are totally anal about sealing it up.

^^^ even if you cut one out of a truck u stillhave to cut a hole...

well if i decide to go get a sunroof i won't be to worried about cutting out my roof until after it's done haha...and I have a 2nd Gen. If it wasn't for where i live that i would go buy all the stuff i want but unfortunatly there is nothing on this stupid island so therefore i'm trying to get what i can for fairly cheap haha. thanks for all the help

if you set on getting a used sunroof. Here's what you need to have...The seals wil need to be replased so make sure you can still get seals before pulling it. you need to make a good template of the hole on the donor vehicle. measure every thing 3 times and make sure the whole sunroof. It must fit your truck.What i mean by this is most sunrofs or model specific meaning your roof dosn't have the same arch as a car or even a tahoe package 1st gen s-10. and last you need to make sure they still make parts for the sunroof. If it's an old aftermarket sunroof run away, quickly....

your in canada right? You might check blackcat customs. i know they have a webpage and I know their out of canada.
