I just got a T3 sunroof model, Florida car, body is great except for the
sunroof. It was siliconed up when I got it, and as I cut the headliner
open- big piles of rust fell on my head. Both drain channels are completely
rusted through- although there is no rusty spots on the floor- cause the
next thing I did was pull all the carpet and padding. (Whew). Anyway,I've
got a great van except for the sunroof issue. The sunroof is 45"x45". I've
called around to possibly find a pop-up replacement- but no such luck. I am
pondering the idea of putting a poptop on it because the roof is solid,
only the underskin and waterchannels are shot.

 1. Does anyone have the dimensions of the 64-67 poptop (little cube one
that pops straight up) handy.
 2. Does anyone know where one is located, or would part with one if they
have 6 or 7 in their garage ?
 3. I think Sportsmobile made a cube popup thru 70 something- maybe this
would work also.

My other alternative is (gulp) Plexiglass...
Any wisdom from the masses.

Signed wet&rusty head.
