So I was driving down the autobahn today at 120mph when...
my dealer installed (I think at least, unless sunroofs were an option??) sunroof blew off. Thankfully it didn't hit anyone and it landed off the side of the road.


What are my options at this point? Can I replace the whole roof? I need to somehow find out the sunroof info and see if I can't get a replacement. The car is parked and has a super classy blue tarp wrapped over the gaping hole in my roof.

Doing some reading, it seems like the logical step to take is replace it with a AMS CF roof. Haha

I've heard of this happening with the C6 corvettes when they first came out (t-tops), but never with an evo. Odd, but good luck eitherway.
