Opeloutbacks Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Hi all, I have an after market pop up sunroof in great condition fitted but the clasp/latch was none existent when I received the car. It had been bolted shut. I have obtained a couple of clasps from eBay etc to attempt making something work, but neither are complete and lack the part for attaching to the glass. The glass has only one centre bolt hole, unlike most that have two. It's branded "Delta roof". Has anyone got any spare clasps/parts they might part with? Replacing the sunroof, will be a pain due to hole in the roof sizes etc, and I do like having a working usable sunroof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryD89 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Totally agree on the “like” of sunroof point. Some photos of the roof in question might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opeloutbacks Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Here are some pictures of the roof. Not much to it. The screw holes are a mixture of makeshift fixes. Can't really see how the original bracket (which I don't have) fitted. There are pictures of one of the clasps I have bought, but the piece to attach to the glass is missing.

Jonathan Pounsett Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I have a Skyport roof and although Skyport still exist there were no spare parts available. Through trial and error I’ve replaced all the hinges with stainless steel clevis pins and Sellock roll pins. All available on eBay - good selection of sizes and cheap. 😁 I used coupe rear window fixings to anchor the glass to the clasps but these were too short and wouldn’t pull the roof completely shut. They may work for you though. In the end I cleaned up and reused the old originals. You’ll need to zoom in to see clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opeloutbacks Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Hey Jonathan, thanks for the post. my hinges are good. The clasp you have what's the story with that? It looks like what I imagined my sunroof would have had fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
