You also posted this on a thread you submitted in the General Chat Forums titled "Glass Roof Conversion" which was also addressed!

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...

Hey everyone figured would ask here and see if anyone has the front and rear trim panels for the glass roof install? Found a roof and looking for those panels I find it hard to believe there are none available.

Are These Interior or Exterior Pieces? I Remember Getting One in The Shop When I Was Still Working in Ford Parts 7-8 Years ago And The Interior Slider Was Fubar and I Could Not Get any Parts For it. The Rarer The Option The Harder To get Pieces. As a Ford Parts Manager Veteran 30+ Years I Would Highly Advise Not Doing This. It Was a Nightmare With Ford Sunroofs over The Years and I'm Pretty Sure This Will Be a Nightmare as Well. If You Really Want a Glass Roof I Would Try & Find a Car With That Option Vs Converting Yours.

Might Have To Make or Modify another Custom Piece. Just a Thought Maybe One of These Could Be Trimmed & Adapted. I Know it's Not as Close as You Would Like But
Just To Make You Think of Alternatives!

I would cut the pillars as the black trim pieces are not available. As for the interrior trim with the shade might be.

Well I'll give you credit, you went after something you wanted and trying to make it happen.
But personally I'm so sick of glass roofs I wish I could get rid of all the ones in my cars.

Im surprised you dont like it as youre the first person who says they do not like it.

A very big thank you to 05stangkc for finding probably the last 2 front and back trim pieces available from Ford. I was able to find a glass roof locally for super cheap. Picked it up today and will need to start planning and how i will be doing the swap over. Excited to see it all come together!

I Listed Sources for Used Parts on Post 68!
Although it was For Locating Just The Trim these Folks Would Have Possibly Have a Complete Glass Roof Equipped Car!
Try & Locate a Car With ALL the Pieces Still on it and in Great Shape!

I was scrolling thru fb marketplace and saw a 2012 being parted out by a scrapper the next town over. Got lucky i guess and it only cost $600 for the entire top and didnt have to pay shipping.
The ebay prices out there for these is ridiculous and alot wont ship them due to breakage concerns. Not to mention the biggest parts yo find are the front and back trim pieces. They have been discontinued by Ford and incredibly scarce at this point, unless a stockpile is hiding somewhere. Otherwise you have to try and save the ones from a salvaged car, which could be tough they are urethane glued on and the service manual states they non reusable.
