Dome light on a factory sunroof car. Reply #15 – September 10, 2009, 11:32:19 AM Quote from: TurboCoupe50;290694Pre late '86, only flip up sun roof's were available... I've never seen a '86 with a Moon Roof but I've heard they were available...Quote from: EricCoolCats;290699+1A little factory sunroof information:- Dead giveaway is the two round black "dots" on top of the glass, right where the latch is, so that the latch handle could be attached through the glass. That indicates a corporate Ford sunroof piece. Most aftermarkets hid their handle attachments and had a smooth glass area around the latch.- The dome light was simply moved back to accommodate the sunroof. This included both the base and the map-light styles. Obviously this required a different headliner. I believe there may have been an extended wiring harness for the dome light as well. As you can see, the factory "winged" visors were retained. Only the 1987-88 moonroof cars got the shorter visors.- Factory sunroof cars had a bag in the trunk to hold the sunroof glass when it was fully removed. The bag had removal and storage instructions (sometimes found on the underside of the trunklid also). The bag was designed to hang on hooks that are underneath the package tray, to keep the glass up from the trunk well and allow storage underneath. Pretty nice concept.Well I learned something new. I thought only power moon roofs were avaliable on these cars. I didn't know about flip up sun roofs. Quote Selected

It looked good though and since its really close to a aero mustang dash the fit is the same. I an gonna use the woodgrain dash panels though to give it the granny car look lol and it will be funny for people sitting in there cause they'll think the car is slow till I pin it (my dad and I have a high horsepower plan for the car). I had a pic of the front seats when they were in my SVO but those are on the old computer too.The other thing is the tbird seats are SOOOOOOO much more comfortable than the stockers.If you want a car that looks slow and isn't, you should pull the mustang parts and put them in a cat/bird.
