[xj-s] Replacement sunroof

I have an 88 XJS that I am restoring and the sunroof needs
replacement. It is still functional and the glass is fine but the
metal frame is badly rusted. anyone know where I can find a
replacement or who the original manufacturer of the runroof was?
The car was first registred in Ireland and the sunroof appears to
be factory fitted though I cant be 100% sure. they seem to be rare
and I have not been able to find one through a breaker.–

Ballina,
Where are you located. I have a line on one that I’d like to buy
for a parts car. I don’t need the sun roof or it’s parts. If you
are interested we may be able to strike a deal. Contact me off list
and maybe we can create a win/win arrangement. I just sold an 84
with a sun roof to a new ethusiast.I had gotten that car as payment
for construction work and didn’t want to see it parted and it is
now being restored. I have since realized I have to have a parts
car because I want to start to rebuild spares for ready
installation. Plus I need a good boot lid. The sunroofs are rare
and the glass ones were factory items. They show in my parts CD. I
am in Pittsburgh PA
