I fitted a glass pop up sunroof to a Toyota Hiarse in the late 70's. The raised swage lines had to be split and closed down flush before I could fit the sunroof frame. Well fiddly but worth it in the end.

I didn't fancy the effort fitting one to my old Bedford. Putting in the Chrysler 4.5 V8 was enough bother for one life. Sold it on to a guy who altered it radically and called it "Invader". Anyone remember it?
