Glass roof on '09 Mustangs
I was poking around here yesterday and saw photos of a blue GT coupe with what looked like the panoramic glass roof - I thought this wasn't available until '09?? I've tried to find those pictures again, but no luck. Is there an aftermarket glass roof for Mustangs?

There are 2 actually. Saleen offers a glass roof, and CDC offers their own version. I think CDC was first, actually, and I could be wrong, but I think Ford might be using the CDC roof for their '09 option.

Now that I think about it, that makes more sense, Saleen already has a manufacturing relationship with Ford, they built the GT for them.

and if you look at the two roofs, the cdc looks really terrible because it places a piece of glass on top of the roof and fills in with rubber stripping. look at the glass roof ford is using, it replaces the roof panel. if i had a choice, my car goes under saleens knife

agreed, but i would like to find out if there is an ability to have the factory ford parts or a saleen scenic roof installed on my car. maybe i should do that and also go over and see what kind of coin it would cost me to trade to an 09 with HID's and a glass roof.

Another rear section from the other side:
Passanger side front:
Here is my CDC Glassback roof. Now that I went to snap some pictures, I realized whatever pictures you put up were definitely NOT CDC. The trim has a clearcoat on it to match the amount of glaze that the glass gives off. Furthermore, the trim sits flush with the rear and front windshields and the actual glass roof.
And I will finish off by saying that what I have, the CDC piece, makes the "hunk of trim" you refer to insigifnicant.

In your own pics, I can see that gap between the roof and trim is not even. Yours isn't pulling away badly like those pics, but there are still two shapes laid against each other that don't match.

CDC revised their trim pieces a while back. Of the two the Saleen is the better looking one IMO but the revised CDC doesn't look that bad. It would basically come down to cost for me. I don't know how much the Saleen version is but if there was a considerable cost difference I would probably go with the cheaper one.

i would go with the better version. i dont mind the money purely because i want the job done more corectly. and have it not look terrible. so anyone know if saleen will take in a standard gt to apply a scenic roof to?

That was most definitely a CDC Glassback. Came from this thread: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...assback&page=4

Yours does. But there are many pics of glassbacks right here on these forums and in CDC's own advertisements where the trim isn't that glassy. Here's one.
