I have a '95 Sub from Phoenix, so no rust, and Mrs really misses her sunroof. Anybody ever have one installed? Would it be a tilt up? Or slide back over the roof. How much? What happens to the overhead console?

I wouldn't mind one in my '84 either!

Pix from last October road trip across country, and similar road trip in 2011 towing a '62 Corvair Rampside from Arizona, bot the Sub and trailer there. Abandoned store in Ash Fork Az, Conoco museum in Shamrock Tx, Our Lake House & my Silverado & K5 Blazer, Junkyard in Peyton Colorado, James Dean Memorial in Eastern Ca, Pismo Beach Sunset

I've looked into this myself, it seems there are quite a few companies who do aftermarket installs.

You can buy them aftermarket, ive been looking in to it, manual flip up is $500 for the window, and power sliding (sucks down and slides into the roof) is $1200 for the window, not sure how much install would be

This was a Denali I saw on Craigslist a few months ago. Cleanest install I've ever seen. I really want to know where he got those 2 overhead consoles. Sorry, only pics I have.

This is definitely on my wish list, but it's a long way down.

Damn tat is clean! Im embarrassed to show mine after seeing that, since the previous owner was a fan of 'hackjobs'

The reason it looks like garbage, is theres no trim around it. There only one part number on it, and google came up blank for me. So idno what im gonna do. it honestly does look like garbage. Also, if you do invest in a sunroof, make sure its got a door that you can slide closed. Sometimes during the day, the sun comes right through it, and shines on my guage cluster, and you can't see a darn thing. Mine is a pretty nice model from what it looks like. Power controls and everything. Supposedly, it started leaking, so the outside is siliconed and on the inside, a screw was ran through the track so it wont move. :nono: Darn hillbilly previous owner!
