To my recollection (I could be wrong) from having owned Cadillacs, Olds and other GM vehicles from 80s/90s/00s any sunroof/moonroof (RPO code CF5) is that if it has that black plastic trim/molding around the roof opening it's not a "factory/oem" (as in built from the factory) option. The factory equipped ones I've owned/seen have all had the roof panel opening stamped into the roof with a clean/painted edge that the seal/weatherstrip around the glass panel fits snugly inside. The black plastic molding is used to effectively hide/smooth the "cut" edge of the roof panel and provide the sealing surface for the glass weatherstrip on the aftermarket, dealer installed ones.So I know that my 83' Monte has an inbuilt power sunroof from ASC that was dealer installed when new and I always heard that there was never an option for the Montes to get a power sunroof/moonroof but there is a guy on FM selling parts from his 87' Monte SS claiming it is factory installed but has no interior shots to send me, it looks more like the one I installed in my Regal. So is there anything verifying that this was not an option or maybe if you knew the right people.

In 1986 and 1987, these were the only two years you could get the burgundy exterior on the 442. You got only two choices with that color for interior, and that was either gray or claret CLOTH. No vinyl.Speaking of 442's how "rare" is it for a maroon/gray interior combination? They exist in the 85' and 86' SS's but is fairly uncommon, but a cool combo. Someone on FB posted a 442 for sale that sure looked like the original paint/interior and it was that maroon/gray combo, first time I ever noticed that in those, it was an 86'.
