Default I lost my Sunroof

Without going into too much detail driving last night down the M6 accelerated to 90mph and lost my sunroof therefore on the hunt for a deflector and a sunroof. Going to order a new seal from ford too......Right to the point can i use a mk3 sunroof on a mk4 or does it have to be mk4?

Also does anyone have any idea how much a NEW sunroof & Seal would be from ford?

Does anyone know where i can get a deflector? old or new? and how much? Any advise would be great as my car is cold with no sunroof

One of my mates just replaced the sunroof on his S1. I'm sure he got his replacement from a Mk5 Escort. Probably best bet is getting one from a scrappy. Only take about 5 mins to get out.

You can fit a mk5 one, but you need to squash the brackets or it dont fit flush with the roof ... I dont like using mk5 glass, best bet either a scrappy or try ebay. I just picked up sunroof glass and runner for mine for £40 off ebay... Look for the car breaking sellers auctions on ebay..

Im pretty sure the glass alone from ford is around £200
