Sunroof Hold-Down In 944
What is the best way to fasten the sunroof down? I have removed the sunroof motor. The car is a track ONLY 944T. Should I fashion tabs or brackets? Use bolts or rivets? Photos of what you have done will really help. Thanks

fab some plates and bolt it from underneath. You can use the stock latch locations for the bolting into the sunroof.

Thanks M758. What about the outside? Nut and bigger washer?

I just used latches from a manual sunroof. Quick and easy to remove if necessary.

I did something like Joe and fabbed 2 plates. I use manual sunroof latches in the rear, with the front screwed in.

Nothing. That is the beauty of useing the stock locations. I just bolted in to the existing holes in the sunroof.

Here's what my shop did. (Note the plate.) There are also machined plates bolted in where the stock latches go. The attachments work perfectly.
