BG GTR Sunroof on Astina?

Felix · 29-05-2017, 11:49 AM

Does anyone know if the sunroof panel from the 3-door BG 323s (which appears to retract internally in the roof headlining) has the same dimensions/fitting points as the externally retracting sunroof on the Astina? Just checking because I can get a sunroof set with the glass panel off of a GTR cheaply, would love to replace the quickly disintegrating rust panel on my GT, and it looks roughly the same shape (online auction)..

To answer my own question, and note I haven't physically confirmed any of this yet, but the 3-door and sedan BG sunrooves won't work with the Astina, but I believe the AZ/MX-3 (also called eunos presso) and RX7 FC-series sunroofs (of which there are somewhat more commonly available rust-proof fibreglass replacements available!) will! they appear to have the same shape and mounting points, looking to get my hands on one to confirm!

Any update on the sunroof?

Hi, I managed to get extremely lucky and found a great condition original BG astina sunroof (in the right colour too!) to replace my rusty-bubbly old panel. I'm still 99% sure an FC RX7 uses the same Panel, but again didn't ever get around to trying it sorry!
