really need good directions. Companies that have good

The new world of textile technology now encompasses realms of products that were not even dreamed of ten years ago. Hightech textiles are prevalent as major components in such diverse products as artificial organs, structural bone replacements, rocket motors and nozzles, space shuttle shields, the Stealth bomber and most of the new design military, commercial and civilian aircraft, boats, bicycles, high-performance sporting goods, road beds, food/water removal systems, pollution control devices, translucent roofs for stadiums, airports and shopping malls, components for converting sea water into potable water, optical fibers for transmission of laser-pulsed communication and extended, temperature-controlled garments. Fibers that are five to ten times as strong as steel on a weight basis now provide the lead technology for making automobiles that are 50% lighter, safer and twice as fuel-efficient as current models. These examples and the history of the development of this technology will be reviewed and discussed in depth in this book.

How to Get the Right Sunroof

An Article from eHow Cars Editor

Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Learn about a pop-up sunroof. This kind of manually operated sunroof is basically a window in the roof of a car that tilts up in the rear to form a crack for air ventilation. This sunroof can also be removed altogether and stored outside the car. This is the lowest-priced sunroof, and it can fit on almost all makes of cars and trucks.
  • Step 2:
    Think about a spoiler (tilt-and-slide) sunroof. This manual or power sunroof tilts to vent like a pop-up sunroof, but it can also slide all the way open, coming to rest on top of the roof. This sunroof is priced mid-range, and it allows a user to install a fully opening sunroof on a car with a top that is too short for an inbuilt sunroof. This sunroof may include options such as ignition auto-close, one-touch open and internal sliding sunshade.
  • Step 3:
    Consider an inbuilt sunroof. This power sunroof opens fully and disappears between the roof of the car and the car's headliner. It may tilt as well as fully slide open. This is the most expensive option and can not fit in all cars due to the necessary roof length needed for installation. This type of sunroof will steal some of a car's headroom. Options such as vents, ignition auto-close, one-touch open and an internal sliding sunshade may be included.
  • Step 4:
    Know different sunroof sizes. A small, medium, large or extra large sunroof can be installed depending on the size of the vehicle and its roof length. Consult a skilled aftermarket sunroof installation professional to determine which size sunroof best fits your vehicle.
  • Step 5:
    Be aware of other issues which may affect sunroof installation. Ribbed car roofs, fiberglass car roofs and stepped rooflines may limit which kinds of sunroofs can be properly installed.
