How many Marauders were made with moon roof option

The ASC moonroof that I have has some different options then the Ford one. I can set mine to close automatically when I turn the key off -Ford's does not. Steve told me that Ford did not have this option due to safety concerns. If someone's hand was sticking out they would have no way to stop it thus creating a liability.

Plus the ASC moonroof is alot larger then the Ford one which might be a play on the safety crash ratings.

I've never compared these units side to side (Signature unit installed this year) but read somewhere they are the same size as the factory units? Our switches are lit too which helps at night.

With the auto-close feature, if one doesn't want the roof to close when the wipers come on or the key is turned off one only has to depress the 'open' button once and the roof will fully reopen and stay there until the next KO/O cycle. No inside trim ring for the Signature units either, which I'm fine with.

Similar unit installed on my '05 Mustang back in 2011. Only differences are the Mustang unit is about half the size of the Marauder unit and only opens about 3/4 of the way due to the curvature of the roof. 2 years parts and labor and lifetime parts to the original owner. Mustang went in to the local auto trim shop (Signature dealer) last fall when the roof failed to open (loose plug). It was serviced, drain tubes checked at no charge.

Sadly, can't install one in my Ranger due to the body support construction in the roof area (destroy body rigidity). Otherwise, Ranger would have a moonroof too.

I was wondering the same thing. It's vin coded if its a factory moon roof. But yet the certificates that we have to send them our vins could not put them on the certificates. I do not get it. They dropped the ball on that one.

Well, to be fair, the folks over at MotorCity Marauders did a lot of legwork to even make the certificates possible. Ford was not asked about the moonroof option, so it wasn't included.

So the nice people/enthusiasts who organized and made those certificates possible were human. It wasn't Ford.

But I have one of the Silver/Light Flint/Moonroof and I also heard about the 170 number.
