Sunroof
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2006 12:02 pmAs anyone had an after marker sun roof fitted?
How much would this cost? Is it possible to have an electric one fitted?

Cool Ant.
My head is missing out on a few tanning rays!

It might be that the STi's etc have a reinforced cage to prepare the car for rally conversion.
Possible that fitting a sunroof mans cutting through important reinforcements.
Only a guess though.

Yes I would AGREE but to be sure it would be better to ask someone with far superior insight to this equation than us
Marky some input please
SUNROOF
Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 7:06 pmI have a windscreen company , we fit many after market sunroofs to customers cars and for main dealers.
To be completley honest i would advise you to never fit any sunroof to a car if you intend keeping it for long time, as after 5 years generally your problems start with seals electric motors and mechanisms.
You also have to remove centre struts on certain models and relocate interior lights.
If you really do want to fit a sunroof to your car always go for a top make which offer long gaurantees upto 10 years and a spares back up, as we have customers come to us reqiuring parts for sunroofs which are no longer manufactured this becomes a real headache often the problem is only cured by fitting a new larger sunroof to the vehicle.

Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2006 7:42 pmLooking at rather poor photo i have of the rally car being prepared at Prodrive i don't think there's anything in the way to stop one being fitted but i guess the fitting of one would have a negative effect on the structural rigidity of the car.
