    Sunroof Clip info

    I have a sunroof clip that I hope to sell, but first want to make sure of what I have. The history is gone.
    Is there any difference between the SWB and the LWB roof? I measured well preserved original cars and I cannot see or measure any difference in the general dimensions of the roof.

    As I said, I want to sell this, but I do not want to misrepresent. Can the experts weigh in?

    thank you,

    Good Morning Tom
    No expert here, but having gone through this with my car:
    Biggest difference is the placement of the rear drains.
    On an early car the drains are visible as small (1") slits on each side of the top of the rear window,
    on a later car the drains exit at the bottom of the rear or "C" pillar.

    Is there a difference in roof line dimensions (or shape) between a swb vs long wheel base car?

    Does anyone know?

    (I think there may be, but I’m certainly no expert)


    Edit: Dealer installed sunroofs had no drain holes in the roof. Is that true?

    The dimensions are the same for both if factory installed

    Casn't see the drains as they are blocked by the hinges. It does appear to be a LWB, though.
