I have access to a 73 imperial with a factory sliding sunroof. The car is to far gone to do anything with. My question is it the same sunroof as a A,B,or E or even another C body or is it dedicated to the 73 imperial. In other words is the sunroof a drop in universal unit or do they all have different roof lines.

The C-bodies have a wider panel & under pan for sure.

Not sure if the Imperials use the same parts as a C, but a parts book would clear that up.

Parts are not easy to find for those that need them though.

Did Chrysler even supply the parts for these? I thought all the roof cutting was done by outside sources?

All the sunroofs were supplied by American Sunroof Corporation - ASC (I think that was the name) . . . was started by a German fellow who supplied sunroofs to BMW, Audi, MB, etc. . . ASC still in business to this day !!

My 74 Duster360 was factory sunroof car. In the A bodies anyway, not sure on B E and C, the sunroof and mechanism was bolted up to the roof of the car.

What I'm wondering if I pick up this 73 imperial could I remove the sunroof parts from the imperial and put it in a b or e body? Has anybody here ever done that? I will register the imp with asc registry even if its junk.

B will fit E, but Cs & Imps are too big.
