I'm not sure what car you have but maybe call them if you are having problems finding them on the site. Maybe they don't make them and I'm just reading the site wrong. I'd call them and ask them.

Anybody run one in a street car that gets rained on from time to time ??

I was thinking about tossing the glass and replacing it plexi and still have the sunroof functional....anyone have an idea on what just the glass weighs?

I wouldn't waste your time....the glass can't weigh more than a couple of pounds, for all the effort that would go into doing that I don't think the minor weight saving would be worth it. As for the weight all together....mine had to weigh atleast 40 lbs.

you could make a frame like i have and put a weather stripping on it. it would be non functional but still save the weight and keep most of the water out. maybe even get a weather strip that was somewhat "T" shapped so a small edge would sit ontop of the roof, possibly keeping more water out, as compared to a "flush mount" style weather stripping

hey, at least ya could still see though it.

if you replaced the sunroof with lexan, carbon fiber, or fiberglass, would it still be legal for the street classes?

I wouldn't see why not. Mine's being done one for weight savings especailly 40lbs from the top of you car. Mainly though to comply with Honda-Challenge rules.
