Ok, I just bought my second fiero, a 87 GT. It as all the options that I wish my 85 had, sunroof, spoiler, and performance sound. But this question is about the sunroof. Are all factory sunroofs removable? And if so, how do I remove it? It looked like it cant be taken out, but then again, I havent looked at it to much, too cold to take it out anyway. Just to clarify when I say remove, I mean take out the glass and put it under the hood. Any Answers welcome. Thanks.
They are all removable. It took me a while to figure it out too...
Those two buttons on the sides of the latch. Open up the sunroof and push them in. Now push up on the sunroof and it should come out of the latch. Now you get out of the car and pull the sunroof back and up until its out of its holes.
Open up your front boot and there should be some plastic mounts that the sunroof lays on. If there is a plastic wind deflector above the brake booster, put it in the holes where the sunroof came out of. If its not there, no sweat, its not that big a deal.
Be careful putting it back in, if you do not have the front tabs in correctly you can bend them and give you a nice leak and wind noise from the front of the sunroof.

i find the wind deflector is not necessary up to around 60-70 mph (i think) where there is a large volume of air trying to move in and out of the cabin (i had my windows down) causing a LOUD vibration. I mean seriously loud, not too loud to handle but a lot louder then you would expect.
I'm not sure what the noise was from...the seatbelt on the passenger side was vibrating a lot but i don't think that was it

That is what my sunroof is doing now. I can see about an 1/8" gap between the glass and the gasket. Can the tabs be re-bent to close the gap up???
AND when you do take it out... It will store in the front compartment. you should see two rubber ledges on the front part of teh trunk and a long strip with rubber on the back part of trunk. Then slam the hood down and away you go!!
OH and put the little plastic piece in the two slots where the front of the SR came out !

A sunroof is a pretty easy addition to put on any fiero... The roof section removes relatively easily. You then bolt in a roof section with a sunroof. No cutting required.
