Hey guys and gals, I found this one on kijiji (obvs) and I messaged the owner asking to buy the lights and bar. She sold me the bar, the lights were gone already! =\

Anyway, I drove out to Canmore, took the bar off myself. I saw this beauty, its in very nice shape, and crawling around underneath it had very little rust, and a skid plate! I didn't realize how LARGE the sunroof on these things were, makes me want one even more! One of the few additions I will not possibly undertake. =P

Anyway, heres the ad, minus the lights and bar!

Yes, the sunroofs on these are much longer than on a regular sedan; unfortunately, the rubber around the lip can separate from the metal roof, allowing water to leak in and causing rust around the lip, and so need some sheet metal work.  For several months my sunroof got stuck in the closed position; when I finally did get it open, I lubricated the cables, and it has not gotten stuck since.  Another downside to these sunroofs is that they are not transparent (or at least mine is not).  

AFAIK, there are NO aftermarket sunroofs for this vehicle.  Perhaps one can be made out of plexiglass so that it would be transparent and not rust since it won't be made of metal.
