 sunroof vanagons were sold in the USA from '80-'87.  '86 and '87 sunroof
vanagons are rare, because the routing of the factory installed a/c in '86 up
vanagons prevented the sunroof vanagons from also having a/c, and most people
opted for a/c.
keep your tracks/cables lubed with white grease, and your drains clean, and
always remember to check and see that your sunroof is cranked up level w/ the
rest of the roof when not in use, the last (hardest) crank pops it up flush.
enjoy the sunshing and your big biceps in your right arm :<)
