Manual roof is the same just a handle instead of motor. The pop up one doesn't fit in place of a tilt and slide.
I realise before suggesting that you may not want to, but... if its stripped you could just weld it up? or fit plastic in its place?
just a thought!

i was thinking of this as for a track car i'd prefer to use a valver hybrid rather than spoil my williams.
trouble is all valvers have the sunroof! how could you get a good shape on the plastic/welded material as it's not flat? :?

We use carbon fibre or a fibreglass panel which flexes slightly and nice and snug :D

Sweet! would there be a place to get this ready made or i'm guessing they're a self fabricate jobby?

Yeh dont particularly want to weld it/rivit it up. Wouldn't mind a carbon fiber panel but they are silly money from streamline carbon(look ****ing sexy though!)
or get a non sunroof model roof and get a bodyshop to weld it in. few spot welds, lick o paint....job done ;)
reno will no doubt still sell the roofs too
