Well, you got me there... But $1,300 bones is reasonable! Damn, it seems
so simple, but your right, the risk is great! For $1,300 I can buy a bunch
of other stuff I need more (read *want* more). Guess I'll have to keep
stickin' my head out the window to see the stars (beats stickin' my head up
my arse anyway :-)!

T,
What do you do if you cut the hole in the roof too big? Hey convertible
Dakota! havnt been seen on the road since '89. Ive done convertible
conversions myself (no sunroofs though) but IMHO1300.00 sounds cheap
considering the potential destruction of your truck if done incorrectly.

$1,300! OUCH! What would you figure for parts if I tried my hand at the
install? I.E. am I saving much by going the "do-it-yourself" route?
I'd like to see the pixs and email direct, but I don't have your email
address.

I've got one installed on my '98 Club. Never had a car or truck with one
before, so I thought this time I'd go for the razoo special. Mine is
made my American Sunroof Company and installed by a local distributer.
My local Dodge dealer ships a truck over there occasionally. It's a
$1300 option here in CA. If you have one done after the initial sale and
go direct, price is about the same, so not like you're saving anything
having the dealer include it in a deal.
FWIW, I think the ASC unit is one of the better ones out there. They've
done tons of power sunroof and convertible work. Their name is pretty
well respected. I'm happy with the fit and finish of mine. No problems
with any sort of leaks either. Mine has two different modes. It flips up
for a vent and slides back into the rear roof portion of the CC when in
full open mode. This model has to be installed on a club cab. Not enough
roof in a regular cab.
I can send you some digital images if you'd like. Email me privately.
