Ive been thinking about a sunroof for years but the best thing I could figure to do is take the truck to a shop that specializes in that kind of thing and let them do it

I have one in mine 77 F250 4x4 and realy wished I did not. Rust free cab, had the windsheld replaced and not even any rust under the gasket, but the sunroof has always leaked and realy weekends the roof. Well po did it so i guess im stuck. I would check out some of the trucks with them before I cut the hole in the roof.

I have seen these Grand Am's running around with the roof that tilts up and slides back on the outside of the roof. In an effort to be differnt I have thought about attempting to graft one of those in. Thats about as far as I have gotten.

leaks

Mine leaks too, I really like it when it is sunny, but right now I have it duct taped shut until I make the time to figure out how to fix it right. If you do it, do it right.

It was in the truck when I got it. It was something I had always wanted in a truck.

For rusting, leaking, and structural reasons I would highly suggest not doing this to a truck that hasn’t already been cut up. But if you do you could start here:

I guess I wouldn't want just another place to possibly hold water/moisture and rust out. Also, if it starts to leak, you'd hate to leave your truck outdoors.

I had one in my old '75 just like the one in the JC Whitney photo except it was from a different company. It was easy to install and never leaked even in the worst rainstorms.
