Odd sized CR LAURENCE aftermarket moonroof... Advice?

[chrisarnt]

I have a 1980ish sunroof that has messed up hardware and seals.

I was hoping I could find a NOS (New old Stock ) on ebay, but no luch after a year.

I want to do my interior, but it seems silly to do anything with a leaky moonroof.

I'd like to replace it with the exact size since I wouldn't have to cut anything.

I called CR LAURENCE and they don't know and they refereed me to some other guy and he said it was a model sold to the European market and cannot be bought here.

The measurements are 17.5" x 26.5"from the outside edge of the interior trim piece,

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

I sealed it up as best I could.
It still leaks.

I think the real problem is that the glass is curved more than the roof is curved and it digs down on the ends and leave a small gap in the middle. So it drips on the ends.

I either need a new moonroof, weld it back to stock or get new flat glass cut.
