| I have just purchased a 2 fold roof clip of an Oval and was wondering if anyone knows if a 3 fold ragtop fits in the same hole ? |

3 fold hole and rag are larger than 2 fold.

I am thinking of adding a sunroof to my 54. Did you complete the installation? if so are you happy with it?

i never got why people are tripping about grafting a 3 fold on a pre 55 car. who cares. a sun roof is awesome, its your car so do what you please screw the purist trippers...
you know the "purist" change their floor pan for repop, they add accessories on their dash and so on.. adding a sunroof is kinda like an accessory, just a bit harder to do but still, its only an accessory. i have an original 3 fold, i got lucky but if youre going to keep the car forever and youre making your dream car do what you wish. its cheaper to graph than buying an original 3 fold right now. its not like youre chopping the roof and adding a fiberglass split window kit.
you are putting a period correct item that will make the car way sicker!
I WOULD! as long as you tell the next buyer that its a grafted roof and stay honest.
my buddy just finished his zwitter, grafted the 3 fold perfectly and the car look way better with the sunroof and i dont think it affects the value. not every one is anal like that. i would any day buy a well made graft over a non sunroof if i had the choice. riding with the roof open in a bug is BAD ASS!!! look at this car, cant tell me its not awesome right?
