Normally the Mk1 Quantum saloon is the hatchback (as it actually had a
hatchback) and the Mk2 Saloon is the saloon (as it had a boot with a
fixed rear window).
Eddie is talking about the Mk2 Saloon roof I'm sure.
I thought you have a Mk2 as you were talking about bonding in the rear
glass, the Mk1 doesn't use bonded glass.

Hi Eddie,
When you say Coupe, do you mean the hatchbacks? Mine has problems
around the sunroof area, but I don't think it's worth spending the
money on. I'll do a localised repair with tissue and make good with
filler. For what it's worth, I can't see much point in spending much
money on the early cars, as their value is so low. I note that there's
a really nice one that appears on Ebay/pistonheads etc for £1500-ish
every so often, but never seems to sell.
Obviously, the Club's work on 003 is a different case, as I can see
its historic value, and it would be nice to see it exhibited
somewhere. But that's a one off, and I can't really see anyone
seriously paying much more than £600/700 for any of the others, even
in good condition. So the repairs are going to be cost-driven in the
extreme!
For what it's worth, the sunroof on my car doesn't look to be a very
good design in any case, using a boot-seal around the lip, with
consequent large gaps between the sunroof panel and the roof edge,
which must be noisy. The clip doesn't look man-enough to hold such a
large panel tight, and the 2-part hinges are a bit domestic. Sorry,
but I'd advise anyone who wanted a sunroof in a saloon to fit an after
market glass one - much cheaper, and easier, probably a better result,
and more sensible in view of the value of the car. In fact, I have a
couple in my loft that they can have if they are serious..!
Sorry if I sound a bit negative (OK, very negative), but I'm afraid
that I don't share your optimism, and it seems like a lot of work for
a limited market.
Now, a nice-looking dash moulding to replace the XR2 item, a bit like
the one in my 2+2, but maybe a bit prettier. I could see a small, but
useful market for that??
Dave.

Hi all
I now have a mould for the Coupe Roof, so if anyone needs a leaking
sun roof removed, I now can insert bodywork in place.
In due course I will be attempting to transfer the mk 1 sun roof
system to the mk 2
this will take a while, but is planned
