Glass roof - 87 Turbo

[TurboEsprit1987]

My 87 has the body mounting hardware for the old "panorama" roof handles. I am told the newer style supercedes and can be fit to the car. It appears to involve a mounting plate and a rubber bump stop, Part #'s 31, 35 & 36. Does anyone have advice or instructions on how to convert to this newer style handle?

The old style uses a spring loaded pin latch mechanism on each side. The newer replacement appears to bolt to the bodywork. It is just not obvious where and how the modification should fit. A diagram or photo of a G car equipped with these handles would be fantastic.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Got it sorted. Looks and works great. No rattles either! Thanks for all the help and input. We can all get back to debating what color our bumpers should be.

I was having a minor meltdown over my Esprit and my sarcasm was not called for. Please accept my apologies.
