Not in my T, but in my last car I had one fitted by Prestige Sunroofs in Wetherill park (syd)......they do the majority of new cars.........I even saw a couple new hsv's and fords there with trade plates when I had my XR8 done.The roof they fitted in my car was exactly the same as the dealer will fit in the T, cost 100 bucks more then the dealer fit option (when I got my T it was 2100 for a dealer fit roof or 2200 from prestige direct) and the workmanship was awsome Thumbs up to these blokesHope this helps at allRegsDean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prestige install Holandia from memory which in my last 3 Falcs have all been exactly the same as the factory units. No difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can go the extra money, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the "rolled-edge" option, it looks so much better but costs about 900-1000 more. Most place will try and put you off this option as it's a very labour intensive process and their margins are pretty tight compared with the standard installation.I should know, I used to install the bastards!

I reckon the factory-fitted ones I have seen are done better than mine. Same basic item- just a matter of the skill and care of the fitter, and that varies in both cases.
