Spinning Donating Members 348 Member For: 15y 4m 27d Posted 16/12/12 10:44 PM Share Posted 16/12/12 10:44 PM In the past . I have really enjoyed having a 'factory sunroof' - however , I have always been relucant to have one fitted - unless from factory .. you hear all sorts of horror stories with leaking , electronic failure , tears/torn head liners ..etc .Further , my understanding has always been , with a factory roof , the roof of the car, has additional bracing to allow the application of the sunroof , and if a roof is fitted to a car outside 'factory' there is insufficient bracing and the sun roof causes a hot spot and will cause it to move overtime .Not sure how true this is ??? - Does anyone else have any reservations about fitting a sunroof , other than from 'factory' ?

Had one in my BF (dealer option by original owner), no issues with leaks etc.http://www.prestigesunroofs.com.au/ Edited 13/01/13 04:13 AM by da_ilks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never put in a non factory engineered and installed sunroof and would never buy a car with an aftermarket sunroof. I have had two BMWs with Factory sunroofs but never used them. Just a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAZY6 Member 620 Member For: 20y 1d Gender: Male Posted 13/01/13 01:16 PM Share Posted 13/01/13 01:16 PM (edited) Since when did Holden/ford do "factory" sunroofs? (Electric)I always thought prestige sunroofs took care of all Vic cars anyway.My previous car VY Calais was ordered by original owner with sunroof, paper work stated when car was finished, then had date in/date out it when sunroof was fitted etcTurbotrana is on the money though, I've had 2, very rarely used them as one car in particular had leather & sending the amount of dust that hovers in through there is ridiculous Edited 13/01/13 01:19 PM by LAZY6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for fresh air on sunny days in my opinion.But when I was looking around - didn't find a second-hand T with sun-roof and leather and tow bar etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
