man going to a junkyard would probably be best so he can see it first hand you can never get everything from pics. the only prob is finding one in a junkyard.
but on the other hand you'd be lucky to find someone on the org with a sunroof and just so happen to have the headliner out.

Wow, everyone is so quick on being a smartass. So sick of this.

He obviously wants pics because some of us don't have the time to go searching for a sunfire w/ sunroof at the yard.

He asked a question, I gave him an option that I would do. Because my line of thinking was this,

But obviously Viper has a pic so no worries now.

BUT........I have unlimited posts..........So.............no. I won't shut up just yet.

If you're willing to do the work... and it's a lot of work... you can replace the blank roof panel with a proper GM sunroof'ed panel and just pop the sunroof assembly in. You need to take out the front and rear glass, the sail panels, drill out the welds for the roof panel, change the center brace (it's further forward on a non-sunroof'ed car), then weld in the new roof panel and put it back together...

I wish I had done the same when my roof was replaced on my old coupe... but I didn't think that far ahead...
