I want to convert my non-working 951 electric sunroof to the manual kind. The archives say to buy the old manual clasps on ebay but there arent any available right now. Does anyone know where to buy them or have some for sale?

 

I did that to mine. It worked great. I found mine by posting a WTB on Pelican.

 

Im not a member there, I am loyal to rennlist I will try that though if I dont get any responses here. I am glad you like yours, I cant wait to drive around with the roof off.

 

Well, its up on pelican now. Bump.

 

You can often find a complete sunroof on ebay for a song. I got a cherry manual off an old 924 at the junk yard for 10 yes ten dollars! Good luck.

For those that converted....can you still make it pop up like the electric version or is this a full on/off conversion? My electric roof is broken, I'd like to replace and still get the venting action by opening it (but not removing it.)

 

I have a set available if you still need them. I also have a converted sunroof panel (the infamous dixie flag one) that has manual clasps, and it works fine. To get the flip up, but not out mode is easy, you just turn them so that the levers flip out and rest on the rain rail. You'll see what I mean when you get a set.

Regards,

 

I have no idea why they even bothered with the electric setup at all. I mean, all the sunroof does is pop up in the back or come off completely.........do we really need a motor to do that for us? On top of that, it is flimsy and overly complicated..........

 

I too have a set available... PM for details.

Edit: Dang that was quick...sold!

 

If you want to pop it up, you'll need to have a strap to hold it down, so it doesn't fly off. The original had a strap with a button that you would snap on the inside of the roof to keep it tied down. I eventually want to do something like that. So people have made their own versions. Search around you'll find pictures.

 

i am definitely also looking for manual sunroof clasps,
PM me if you've got a set to sell..

also are these the right ones or no:

I changed out my electric arm receivers and put in a set of manual latches on the back but I am having touble getting them to latch. Does anyone have any pictures of theirs that latch?

 

i have a set, email me if anyone needs them - $25 + ship.

 

That's them.

 

I still need a set! Fezz, pmed you. Everyone else stop stealing my clasps.
