Hi, The local yard had an '85 GL Sunroof. I had meant to get parts off of it, but mornings are always a matter of rushing the kids to school and then me rushing off to work. I looked at it coming and going every day. This past weekend it had been moved. I swung around on Monday morning and there it was, in line for the crusher, with a 1/2 ton Chevy truck sitting on top of it. They had broken the windshield, damaged metal, etc. I had them move it out from the line so I could interior parts from it - they get good money for metal, so they wouldn't part with bumpers, etc. I came back that afternoon and there it was, up on all fours like nothing had ever happened. The roof was a bit crushed - but the sunroof and all doors still worked like new. Amazing considering it had been moved up and down a hill a couple of times with a front loader, and parked underneath a full-size Chevy pickup. Conrad
