Factory Sunroof, can it be done?

Hey,

I am one of the lucky ones who didn't get a sunroof in my Z24. Would it be possible, to go to a wreckers, rip the assembly out of a z24 with a sunroof, headliner and switch and take it to a shop that does sunrooves, and have them cut the hole and drop it in? I really want a sunroof for this summer. Maybe you would know Cody? Looks like your car has one, don't know if you put it in yourself or not, I never knew 4 doors came with them :P And help is appreciated!

sure you can. You dont need the headliner though, it will be cut with the roof.
I had one installed in my 1988 z-24 just like you are wanting to do.
went to the scrap yard and removed one from a wreck, took it to a local body shop and had them install it.
the only thing they required was a new seal for the roof to sunroof

alot of shops will do it as well. and have a warentee with it....warentee's are VERY nice to have

i also dont have a sunroof on my Z, which makes me mad cuz i even see regular cavys with crank windows and manual locks with them but my Z with all the extras does not have one.

Sweet so it can be done, now, our Z24,s without the sunrooof, do they have the wire for the switch for it hiding somewhere? Or what? I want the stock power sunroof with the switch

i have one of those, they're called RS's, they also often feature a 5 speed tranny, power mirrors (of all things) and a stock cd player

Crazy loL!

they have a mirror with lights on it, and the switch is on the roor in front of the sunroof i think, well thats how my ex's sunfire was atleast.

You can. Your car is already wired for one to the harness. You just need a new head dome light/ sunroof harness from GM cut that sunroof out wider so there will be a tab running around the outside of the sunroof to weld onto. Then snag the headliner as well. Your going to then need your roof re-painted.

Or you go aftermarket and spend 700-800 bucks for a power one. Mines aftermarket and i'm kicking myself now for it not being powered. I might upgrade it down the road to a powered one. But its not a big deal right now.

Sunroof.. Pfft overrated.

Awesome, so on the car I grab the sunroof out of, I should grabt he mirror, healdiner, dome and switch? where is the plug tucked in on my Z to hook a factory sunroof up? I imagine the switch is a few wires witha clip on the end.

The wiring harness that runs up your a-pillar is the one you need to switch. The body harness up to that point is ready for the sunroof. The sunroof switch i believe is in the headliner along with dome light. Power mirrors i'm not sure of. I prefer the manuals and i haven't torn a part a j with them so i don't know. The are probably on the same harness i would imagine since it runs in the same area.

So the Left A Pillar people usually put pod guages on? pull er off? I have had my headliner out before, I never saw a extra plug for a sunroof switch, just the dome light, as for the wires in the A Pillar, is there a point where you can unclip them from the body harness and clip the sunroof harness in? ANd the power mirrors, the wires for them goes through your door firewall, I have them, they dont go near A pillar at all

Connector is circled in red.

Alright, can't see it very good but is that the clip for the sunroof switch? Or the switch, and the dome and shit?

looking into this still need help. I have no idea what im doing with this lol, what do i need to grab out of the scrap car? the whole assembly and what else? and do i need to run the drain tubes somewhere?

Now that I lost my drop top, Well I purchased, like your guys Z24s without the sunroof, probably one of the only LS Sports without one too.

Lol which is why i need help!
