Be on the lookout for a metal sunroof on I-75 between exit 3 and exit 27 North. PapaKoch was towing his '64 back from my house after a great weekend of working on it and the sunroof (which had been removed to figure out the parts we needed and placed back in the hole to reduce the amount of rain ingress) flew out along the interstate. I drove up after him and he walked the road around where he noticed it was gone.

It was dark and we tried, but I won't be able to travel that road for a few more days, so if anyone sees it, Grab it! Or at least tell me where it is.

We realize its probably smashed flat, but we will need that for the trophy next month! If you have a spare metal sunroof or a sunroof clip, we'd also consider that!

Anyone find it?

I think I'm going to be a fly on the wall when the Guy's try to put that sun roof back together. They can be repaired in 2 hours or 2 weeks. Timing the cables, timing the crank, getting un-tangled from greasy cables, trying it keep warped plastic cable guides in place, learning a whole new vocabulary .  Can I come watch ?

I can't get it to turn right side up... oh well. Turn your heads upside down

Wouldn't it be easier to put a pop-top on it?  The early bay Westies were converted sunroof buses.

A beetle with a pop top... Hmm I like it!!!

My bad . . . though it was a bus.     But now that you mention it . . . 

Since it's a bug, it ought to be pretty easy to find a replacement.  There are some bugs @ Pull-A-Part . . . might be time for a road trip . . .
