S-197 Glass Roof Conversion

So I saw someone go through the whole process of doing a glass roof conversion on their sS197. I was inspired to do the same thing. A couple weeks ago I scored one on eBay for $1700. It was worth because I figured I would be able to find another one for a long time. Even though I struck gold I am having trouble finding a shop to assist me in the process…I’ve taken out everything I can to prep my car for the process…but now it’s beyond my scope of mechanical knowledge to proceed alone…and suggestions?…i live in Watertown NY

Greetings and welcome aboard!

If you're unable to locate a custom installer/performance shop in your local area, I would suggest doing a google search and starting from there... You might also consider searching the sub-forums by selecting the search function menu located above on the home page... When the search box window displays, type in "Glass Roof Conversion" Hopefully, you'll then come across a listing of threads to help guide you in locating a custom installer... In the meantime, best of luck to you...

What a project!! I'm sure you will find success in time. Good luck!
I have to ask though, why not get a convertible? I understand NY doesn't get months and months of 'topless' weather but May to October should get you quite a few nice days.
