fab5paddy Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi, Has anyone preformed a sunroof retrofit install? Is there loom fitted in the roof for the controlls?? Cheers Fab 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Not me but that's a hell of a retrofit to be taking on, cutting a great big hole in your roof...:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I expect as it was always the case in the past that the roof panel is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 If you want it OEM fit, you'll need to replace the entire roof panel, headlining etc - not worth it, imo - it'll also massively de-value the car if it's not done properly. Either fit an after-market glass one, swap the car for one that's got one, or live with not having one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 And if you only cut 3 sides, you'll have a metal tilt sunroof, or just bend it right over for fully open, no need for expensive hinges!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Now that's an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I would play it safe and simply neatly draw a rectangle on the roof panel with a black permanent marker. Unless you got up really close no one would ever know. You could even colour it in a shade of grey and it would look like you had a unique glass sunroof!

DHA Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Or get a vinyl made up, that would look good. You could even get it in carbon fibre look, will save weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
