Signing off for the night. Thanks for the help. I think I have a plan..

car-part.com is an online salvage yard directory and the part would be an OEM glass and probably come with more bits and pieces than a new one.

I wasn't disagreeing with you Rick.... I was pointing out that an OEM glass, new or used, would be a better solution than trying to "fit" a piece of glass or plexiglass or wood or anything else.

I was in Spaulding Auto Parts in Spokane, WA a couple months ago and they had a wrecked 80 with intact moonroof. They're in the 509 area code. Definitely check with insurance as they may authorize an OEM part in a destination city and installation so you may be messing around with this and not really have to undertake the planning alone. Deductibles may be waived in this situation as well.

Follow up to all. Can not tell you how helpful everyone has been. Currently on dial up in Lincoln, Mt visiting a friend. Got the sunroof assembly in Victor, MT. 200.00 great shape. Parts unlimited where I got the part also installed it for 180.00. I feel very lucky and very pleased with the price. On to ACT 2008 tomorrow.

Good thing he got it fixed before he got to Canada - there are slim to no parts for cruisers up here. Even though on car-parts.com there are a few hits they never panned out for me.

Bob can source a glass from Toyota or Lexus separately for the sunroof. The cost, however, is somewhere north of $700. If he has "glass buy back" coverage through his insurance, then all he has to do is pay the $100 deductible.

glad everything worked out. It's kind of nice now that these trucks are plentiful in the junk yards and odd ball parts such as these aren't that expensive compared to new.
