Glass roof Mustang at dealer

Stopped by dealer to check out info on the 08' and they had this in the showroom just in front of the Shelby Blackjack. For a coupe this is cool. Sorry about the last photo but the flash did not go off and did not notice it until I got home.

Its tinted pretty dark, look at pic 3 between the glass and the ceiling.
also in the 4th photo of the rear, there is another set of brake lights at the roof line.

Wow. I'd rather pay for a convertible. Oh wait, I did. Oh and BTW, I think you meant ROUSH Blackjack, not SHELBY Blackjack.

Holy fry up some eggs on the seats batman! It may be tinted, but I guarantee it will be oven-like in the hot sun. It would be nice if they had a removable panel to block it off when you're not in the mood to look straight up.

Rob's probably right. I thought it was a cool idea at first though. I don't know why they don't offer a moon roof on stangs. I would of got one.

The CDC one has gigantic mouldings all around the windows to make up for the height difference(like the doorstop moulding at the top of the windshield in the pics), and huge bulky A-pillar trim that makes the windshield look 'recessed' about 1/2 inch. Its extremely clumsy looking and I have a vendor that does them. We get shakers and other CDC stuff but not the glass roof.

The Saleen glass roof however, is perfectly flush and looks incredible.

Probably because of the cost, and I dont think it would be an option that would sell very well. I believe that they had a moonroof option on a model of the fox body's but it didnt sell very good. Besides that, there's probably a strength issue with having a hole in the roof like that.

I know of 2 in Kansas City that had their dealer install a moonroof/sunroof and they are nice. I would have opted for a moonroof from the factory but Ford has never done this option. Only T-tops in the early to mid 1980's.

I don't think that would be too popular here in Phoenix. And actually I like the look of the roof as is. Just my opinion though.

A friend of mine has a 93 cobra with 8k miles that has never seen rain with a factory pop-up sunroof. Definitely a rare bird. Flat moonroofs work on the flat roof of the fox though.

Both of my foxes have factory moonroof's. They're not rare at all. In fact, around half of the 93 Cobras I've seen have them.

The dealer here Ciener-Woods can't sell the one Mustang with the glassback that they have. Its hot even with the tint.

I was referring that it is much cleaner then when the truck first dropped it off in 1993

I like the new trim style on the updated glassback. I had one sent off yesterday to get converted. Plain jane alloy coupe, adding the glassback and one of the sets of marauder 18's we have stocked up, should look pretty darn good
