Default Bonus shell sunroof

Anyone know if any other vehicles share the sunroof with a 1.3 bonus shell? Its just the up and down (via handle not the winder type mech), no slide.

My glass is scratched to feck so I'm after one - just wondering if i could widen my search...

It would be an aftermarket cut and shut sunroof ,so just a case of looking at cars that had one fitted down the scrap yards

Sorry chaps, am i missing something. This is/was the original sunroof to the shell, no cut and shut? Perhaps not a bonus (if bonus never came with a sunroof at all), its a 1.3 shell tho - thiking back it was a 1.3 Bonanza or some equally lame name.

what reg is the car m8....did mk3 escort not come with that type of sunroof....guessing it's not brownish tint on it but.....is it green or clear..

Also when I worked for ford parts I remember an accessory sunroof being fitted to a mk5 escort and was only a up and down 1 and was branded with ford badge...

Tilt and Slide was not the only sunroofs fitted to the MK4 Escort. Tilt was commonly fitted to lower spec'ed cars, As per the owners handbook states. My first Escort was a G plate 1.3L 5DR and has the tilt only sunroof.

Factory fitted. My handbook isn't near me but suggests it. Its a very early handbook dated 1986 too.
