Post 944 Glass Sunroof from Toys/Toys - Opinions?

Has anyone purchased/received one of these sunroofs? I have placed an order and am awaiting a confirmation. If anyone has one, what is your opinion of design, quality, etc. TIA

There's a truckload of posts in the 924/44/68 main forum on this guy/company/product. I'll let you judge for yourself (do a search on both glass sunroofs and toys for your toys) ~ there seems to be all sorts of thoughts, good and bad.

I'd like to see one though.. so post when it comes in and maybe we can get together so I can check it out.

Thanks,I checked out the posts you mentioned and it sounds as though I might be a test pilot on this one. So far Mr Bellusci is not doing too well with customer service. I requested via email and phone messages that he contact me before finalizing the order and he has yet to do so. He may not get the order if he doesn't follow up on this. I'll post again if it pans out.

Joe Bellusci called me today and was very responsive. He answered all of my questions and provided a description of the sunroof that sounded very good. He said he will provide me with names & numbers of people who currently own the tops whom I can speak with. He is also going to provide me with some pics to view to sunroof better before finalizing the order.

He also mentioned that he has been in touch with someone related to Rennlist about a potential group buy. He said the discounted pricing will be determined when the group size is established. Anybody else interested? The return policy is 2yrs/100% cash back. Hard to beat.

Could you post those new pics you get to give us a better of what it looks like? Also do you know a ballpark price range of the group buy?

I will post the pics, but I have no Idea regarding the group pricing. It's going to be determined by Joe Bellusci/Owner based on the quantity of people interested.

Another input (ripped from the 24/44/68 list) was that the owners of Saratoga tops rarely used them ~ especially in the summer. There's no shade on the inside (like with cars that come factory equiped) so you're always either burning your head/neck or fading your interior. I thought I really wanted a Saratoga top for my 951, but go to reading about some of the complaints and was quite able to talk myself out of the want.

Bought myself a set of Fuchs instead.
