has the car got a sunroof? easiest way to tell is if its a 2/3 way roof...i.e. backward/forward/up and if its a sheetmetal roof...not glass... also just a valid note to take into consideration...no commodore was ever fitted with a "factory sunroof" they were all done as contract work outside of holdens plant so ive been told by several ppl tho Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats true frced6.. but.. when ordered from holden you would tick the sunroof option, then goes gets a sunroof fitted taken back to holden and you pick it up. my old man also said some yards had sun roofs already fitted and was in show rooms to help sales.... And glass sunroof was a sunroof fitted, my calais had sunroof stamped on the build sheet under carpet and is a glass one

I rolled the edges, re-sprayed the roof and reupholstered my roof lining. I absolutely love it, theyre the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
