third gens came with sunroofs? my firned has a 90 firebird witha sunroof, he said it cam that way from the factory but i always thought it was one of three options, hard top, t-tops, or rag top and just kind of blew him off. So do third gens come with sun roof as a factory option?

as far as I know all sunroofs were aftermarket , sooo, basically you're screwed , lol
but if you have insurance they should replace the glass for "Free", or any glass place can cut glass for your sunroof , so don't junk the car yet , LOL

Another option would be to get a sawzall and saw the entire top off the car! Instant convertible! Seriously, though, go to a shop that does custom conversions for sunroofs, convertibles, etc., they should be able to help you.

There not a stock option but they were avalible through the dealer for an extra $300 according to a buddy that got his car new and had the sunroof installed.
I'd go for the junkyard and look around, usually aftermarket sun roofs are similar and you can nab a used unit for $40.

I saw the wind blow off one of those deals that go on the back of a truck. You know the camper deal that makes a truck look like a SUV. I alwayz forget what they are called. But the storm took it and flew it into the tollway down below. I was on the service road when I saw this. HAHa I pulled next to the dude and stuck up my thumb
and said good going man!!!

A topper. Hey do you like your sunroof? I am looking for a thirdgen and I want T tops, but if I can't find a nice one with Ts I will get a sunroof. Any words to the wise?

Ya had a t-top do that too. Figured out why it happend though for all you t-top guys. Its from the body flexing and the latch working its way loose every time you go up a funny drive way at an angle. After awhile if you don't push the latch in it just pops off going down the road. So now (since i haven't had a key made for it yet) i push down on the latches every time i get in the car.
