Looking for a sunroof panel, condition not at all important...thanks.
WTB: sunroof panel
- Thread starter bill
- Start date
I believe these are the same as early 911's so you could look there also.
Thanks Stevehose...had no trouble finding one in 2007 from Der Gruppe. Looks like they're joining the NLA Club nowadays...

Porsche 911 panel will not work! Very close but NOT the same!
Been there done that!
Although on first examination they look identical they are NOT the same! Even tiny little things like the rails are just slightly different! Only about 1/8 inch off but still just enough to not fit or work!
When Stan was in production of his sunroof deflectors he came by and we tried using Porsche 911 sunroof rail parts and no luck.
I was able to grind a Porsche rail just a little bit on each end to make it fit in my E9 but the gears on the crank handle were off by 2-3mm just enough that they did not mesh...

I'm looking for one that is beyond re-painting, and thus cheap, that will be used to find out what is causing scratches in my good panel which now has to be repainted...
