Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself. Looking to clean up a 318ti I paid too much money for. I have a 1998 318ti with the California sunroof, that's annoying as hell. I'll update what I'm going to do with the sunroof later, but for now this forum has already helped me out tremendously.

hey man, welcome to the board!

be careful what you say about the cali roof. the few guys on here with one get very upset if someone says bad things about them!

post some pics when you get a chance!

welcome...

I'm someone on here with one, but don't care what people say about the cali roof. I like mine and that's all that matters to me.

Where you located?

I wish I had a cali roof, they are so nice and very rare, if its broken definatly fix it and take care of it, im sure you will be very happy with it when it works properly.

hey there... noob here too, so we can learn together. I just picked up my car over the weekend, and this board is my prime source of info too! Good luck with fixing the cali ;)

Yeah, the sunroof leaks and its jammed so I'm going to a boat marina and have a custom shaped piece of polycarbonate glass installed so it doesn't leak anymore. I live in Hawaii so I'm having to put a cover over my car almost everyday to keep the water from literally gushing in.

Just fix it back to original...it'll fetch a better price if and when you decide to sell if it's got the working cali-roof..dont go with glass.

Yeah, I don't want to sink 1000.00 into getting a new one working. There is already enough water damage to the car and ALL sunroofs leak.

Actually, the solid glass roof looks really nice. I remember seeing one about 5 years ago. The only problem is that your car will get pretty warm unless you have some sort of retractable sun-shade. I say do it, and post pics when it's done.
