Anyone Know Their Aftermarket Sunroofs?

[GhostWKD]

Right well im having poo all luck trying to find replacement glass for my sunroof, its defo an aftermarket jobbie and nowhere knows what it is...

Handle has BSR Pop Top written on it, been told BSR stands for Britac possibly... but not had any luck searching for that, found one place searching for BSR Pop Top and that place i couldnt explain situ to the guy and he didnt have time to speak to me indepth... so dont want to go back there if i can avoid it

only pic i have of it isnt actually a pic i took

Not best pic ever but its alot more rounded than standard one (also alot smaller)

Please help if you can

Even tried tel i have in paperwork for the guy that originally modded it (scott chapman) and its out of service

The only thing I can suggest Alex is that you try a local auto glazers and see if they can get something knocked up for you or if they recognize the sunroof manufacturer

where was the owner of the car originally from was it bristol

 

[GhostWKD]

original owner, urm *looks at reciepts* was from berkshire way, reading/winnersh way

tried auto glass (who i was going thru originally, and they not got a clue) tried few others same result, tried cut to size glass place cant do it because need brackets thru the glass

was asking cause a search brought up this link http://www.sunroofs.org.uk/

do you mean "Britax"?

im pretty sure they only make baby stuff now

if it is smaller than a standard cinq sunroof, i might be worth looking at getting a standard cinq one from a scrappy :chin:

thats the place i phoned up

and yeah its britax and think they have stopped sunroofs too would explain why the autoglass bloke thought it might be discontinued make/model cause he didnt recognise it from recently

 

[gaz.d]

maybe worth a search round a scrappy , i cannot find any recent links for britax, although i did find that they britax weathershield

im guessing britax sunroofs where used a lot in cars

 

[GhostWKD]

might get measurements and go armed with measurements on a scrappy hunt cinq uk tour

Edit: Just thought, hope the forker that did this dies a slow and painful death :bang: complete and utter tosser, just incase he's watching

I know this is gonna sound a bit daft, but what about a perspex panel cut to shape and reshaped? Wouldn't be a problem with the fixings then, with the glass breaking - perhaps you could salvage the originals, or use standard cinq sunroof fixings?

look for skoda favourits, i found my uno sunroof in them and they britax and rounder than normal

if its an after market roof you need look at all cars not just cinqs, any car could have been fitted with the same

Wouldnt know where to start looking for perspex sunroof, would i have any problems using that rather than glass? also can you get tinted perspex?

 

[serin]

you can get perspex in any color

we went throught this at skeg

The only 2 problems I can think of are that you'd need to make sure it'd sit right for sealing/ watertightness, so you'd need perspex that's of the same thickness. Also perspex scratches more easily compared to glass, but a sunroof isn't subjected to as much stuff as the other windows :chin:

TBH you may be looking at making a sunroof from scratch if going the perspex route

 

[Little Red Devil]

i know this doesnt help you in the slightest but the cinq i scrapped recently had the exact same sunroof. sorry i didnt know that it would be of use cos never ever seen another cinq with a sunroof like it.

Go to a boat window specialist, they can make perspex windows in any shape and fit the fixings. They also heat treat the perspex to stop the sun destroying it. Being in the marine business they are used to having to make watertight seals for hatches and windows.
