I bought a Peugot 106 sunroof from 1st Choice Vehicle Dismantlers in Tremorfa Ind Est, Cardiff for £20.I saw quite a few but only wanted the tinted glass version and they only had one available. As it turned out the item was very easy to remove and I used the hole left to make a template at the breakers.
Installation required removing the plastic/overlay and cutting the jigsaw hole by using the template I previously made. I stopped the drumming by taping the bottom of the jigsaw and the edges of the hole as I cut.
With leaks in mind, I then perhaps put too much Sika on the rim and had trouble scrapping it off the exposed paintwork.
I fully intend to install another (when I find a tinted one) in the back and have learnt some good tricks. I'm sure the next one will be easy to mount with the knowledge and skills I have learnt.

Just a note for future reference. Whilst the sikaflex has not gone off use a damp rag or sponge to remove any excess. It comes away nice and easy this way and leaves a good finish.
I used to work in the boatbuilding industry and used sikaflex daily this is the best method.
If it has gone off then the best method is a razor blade and some careful scraping
Hope this is useful for you or anyone else attempting this.
Cheers for the tip. I did try some water but I think having the correct material to rub with is important too. Will give it a better go next time.
