I cant find out where to install my sunroof holder in the front. Does anyone have a pic of the holder with and without the sunroof in it.

Anything will help.

Here you go.

The circled area is where the handle of the sunroof slides into...


The front of the sunroof glass sits on top of these...


Sunroof glass in place under the hood...

My best advice when it comes to your Fiero is to "NOT" do any dealings with www.kitcarman.com

here is something else you may not know... All factory Fiero's that came with a sunroof also came with a sunroof wind deflector. Your car may or may not still have one. if it does it is also stored under the hood here...


It has 2 metal clips on it that insert into where the front metal pieces on the sunroof glass go...


Installed...

The glass has to sit on top of the rubber pieces by the headlight. The glass will then wedge underneath of the weather strip that runs along the top of the whole compartment.


It's a tight fit so it does'nt move around or break while your driving.

I got it to work i just had to put the handle in the right way lol....i had it close and not slid in the hole when i put it in.....What do i do with the windshield washer fluid hose. its right in the way and when i put the sunroof on it , it kinks. I cant get it around the sunroof either.

Either way its really nice to have it on there and the deflecter visor is really nice to have.

The windshield washer hose should not be near that area. if it is...I assume that a previous owner ran new hose the short route instead of running it where it should have gone. In this pic you will see that my hose is up on the black wiper cowl. It enters underneath of where the sunroof glass sets (passenger side) and gets routed underneath of the wiper cowel and the up through it.


Edit to add...If you think that sunroof deflector is nice, wait till you see what I am going to be selling in the near future.

Lol yea, thats what im thinking too, it goes straigh from the washer fluid reservoir to the peice where it spilts into two....ill see if i can route it the way you said. there is some extra slack. I think the previous owner did that or the painter might of when he did the hood.....I dont know but either way its any easy fix. If you havent seen my car its on the thread thats been going on for a while now https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/072393.html

Thanks for all the help you all give me.

Thanks JimmyS for all the pics its all done now

I see your from Katy.
You ought to look into going to the Galveston Ruckus that is in October.
Good way to meet some of your fellow Texas Fiero enthusiasts and see some nice cars.
