What exactly would I need to do this besides the sunroof and gasket? I don't see replacing the entire roof panel as an option since there are none in the local area, and nobody seems willing to ship one. [This message has been edited by Chief08 (edited 07-22-2019).]

Aftermarket sun roofs are typically cut into the existing roof but IIRC the cutout outline may be already there on the Fiero coupes. ------------------

I'm trying to add an actual fiero sunroof to a fiero that doesn't have one, not an aftermarket one. I know the hole will habe to be cut, bit I don't know what elae I would need beside the donor sunroof.

No hole needs to be cut. From the factory, all Fieros have the "hole" in the metal roof already.
You need a sunroof skin, headliner, glass panel and all associated hardware.

Again, I'm not changing the entire roof panel, so I dont see how a hole would not need to be cut. Also, the " associated hardware" is what I'm not sure about.

If you want a factory Fiero sunroof installation, you need a roof panel from a sunroof-equipped Fiero.
The roof panel in a sunroof Fiero is physically different; it has molded-in channels around the sunroof opening. Cutting a hole in a solid Fiero roof panel does not yield an equivalent result.
I'd suggest delaying the sunroof project until you find a donor car (junkyard, or someone doing a part-out).
When you find a donor car, drive out there and grab everything.
Have a look at page 329 of the Fiero P-Book to better understand the "associated hardware":
http://www.fieronews.net/fu...Fiero_Parts_Book.pdf
It would be a good idea to download this document for future reference.
There is also some hardware under the front hood for stowage of the glass; don't forget to grab that too.

Thank you for that very detailed information. Where would I get these parts besides a junk yard? I'm sure that they have all been discontinued.
