Oh please no! A glass sunroof in an MGB? That's the best way to ruin its
looks and your credibility, not to mention the car's value. Glass
aftermarket sunroofs are only fit for old Escorts driven by boyracers.
The only sunroof for a B has to be a proper 'cloth' one. And, no, they
don't leak if they're in good condition.
If you're brave, you can fit your own sunroof. I've done it using an
electric jigsaw fitted with a hacksaw blade. Just make sure you at least
double-check the measurements befroe you start cutting!!
