Does the aftermarket roof have the pull shade to cover it from inside like the factory?

I plan on keeping this car as long as possible. Hopefully 300,000+ miles so, I'm not worried about resale value. Although I'm not sure resale value of an aftermarket glass roof would be any different than a hard top. Should be more in my opinion.

No, it does not have a pull shade. On hot days I have already noticed it gets hotter while sitting in the hot sun. 3 minutes of A/C riding down the road it cools off like any other car though.

If you are keeping it thats fine. Think about it this way, would you buy a 67 gt with a glass roof since it was not factory? Once you make perminemt changes you will never get what it's worth to you. I do like the look of it, it's just not something I would take a risk on.

Roof looks great! I plan on getting a Glassback eventually, and, like you, I plan to keep my car a very very long time. So resale is definately not an issue.

Doesn't seem any worst than any other mod. I don't think it'll hurt your value. It's not like those pop-up sunroofs from the 1970's! Keep your paperwork as I'd think you could retain some value for this.

No, I probably wouldn't buy a 67 Mustang with a glass roof but, I would buy a 2005 and up Mustang with one.....aftermarket or stock built.

I guess they got popular again or something, because they the places around here want $3890 installed, that's with tax.

I'd do it for $2500. Hell, I'd drive to Maryland to get it done for that money. I'd save $1300.

I've looked at Classic Design Concept's website the pas 6 months or so and it appears they are not installing glass roofs on Mustangs any more. Only on Chrysler 300s. Would have to call to make sure though.

CDC stopped making the glass and you cant find any on shelf, I wish I would have done it earlier, while they were still out there
