Sun Roof Or Moon Roof Window In?

[codymanche]

So my donor jeep has a moon roof or sun roof looking at putting it in the Comanche. My wife says no but my truck so I'm just looking for feedback on the subject

[flint54]

My opinion, worth no more than the ink it took to write it, is that's a bad idea for 4 reasons:

1) is isn't original

2) it introduces yet another source for leaks

3) it possibly weakens the cab

4) when you get old and lose your hair it will sunburn your scalp

It won't weaken the cab. all the supports are in the corners. nothing but sheet metal above your head. I say if ya like it then go for it. The joys of owning vehicles is doing what YOU want to them. not what people think you should do.

:agree: Do what you want to your own rig, but if you are not skilled in the install (I'm not) get it done by a pro. The ones that leak were mostly installed by dummies trying to save a buck. MJ sunroofs were never a factory option, they were a dealer installed option. I had one put in a few years back by the same guy that did the installs for most of the the Southeastern US Jeep dealers since he was close by. No leaks, no problems, and I enjoy it in the summer.

 

 

 

 

And to protect your bald head, if you have one, these are available.

Gracias amigo. :cheers: Not so pretty now since I only wash it once a year and haven't waxed it in maybe four years. But it'll buff out when I get around to it. :yes:

i just installed one last week :) i still got to get around to cleaning all the rtv off of it tho

A couple recomendations for sunroof DIY # 1- mask the perimeter before sealing ( no messy clean up ) #2 do not use RTV silcone sealant / use polyurethane " Marine " sealant ( made for under water and much stronger adhesion ) Thats my $0.02 :cheers:

i should have used masking tape but it was about 3 am when i was doing this so i wasnt thinking to clear lol and it also has a gasket on it i just like to go a little over board on things thats why i used sealant on it
