Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior flaky sunroof

whats up y'all, i've got a 2000 GT w/ sun/moon roof and its flaking little things, it started on the drivers side and has swept to the other side making it very blurry to look out of, does anyone else have this problem, what do i do? replace that mess? a'ight then y'all, peace...

Everyone has the same problem. You can either go buy a new one at Toyota or deal with it.

newer ones don't have that problem

I think it is just the 00' and 01' that have that problem. Correct me if i am wrong. I know like he said ^^ the newer models have glass, instead of the cheap a** plastic.

Andy, Blue Batmobile, is working on a vinyl overlay that might help that problem

can't wait

i actually fixed mine, we scuffed it down with some 320 sand paper and sprayed clear coat on it. then went back over it with some 1500 sand paper and recleared it again. worked great, no problems with it yet, but i will warn you, it takes forever to scuff that stuff.

I seen somebody the otherday that had it tinted w/ like blue to match his car it looked sweet!

yeah, you can do that easy, just add some color to your clear when you mix it.

get some tint remover. thats what i did.

cant wait for an overlay count me in

wuz up ppls. i have the same problem with my 2000 celica. would it be cheaper to retint it or just get the whole thing replaced? since the new sunroofs use glass.

mine is a 2002 and looks fine

I have a 2002 and I also have not seen a problem with it. What are the 00-01 sunroofs made of? Plexi? There might be a couple of solutions from a paint store, specifically one that carries automotive products from 3M

I have a 02 and today i realized that there is a strip of faking on it. It looks really bad. Im gonna have to re-tint asap

it'd probably be cheaper to have it recleared/tinted at a body shop than buying the whole new sunroof. my rear quarter glass windows ran me 215 a piece, so i'm guessing the sunroof is more than that.
