Dicky Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Anyone fitted or heard of a sun roof being fitted to a coupe, or would that be unwise? Quote
GIXXERUK Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I've seen one (not uk) on youtube with what looked like a factory fitted or a well fitted aftermarket electric sunroof Quote
Dicky Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Would be a nice addition to have I reckon. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Anyone got and idea how much they cost? I'll do a little web searching see what turns up Quote
Dicky Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 It would seem to be a dying craft as volumes are low for sunroofs these days and lots of companies have dropped the idea. There's a reasonable looking company in Leicestershire called AutoRoofs UK ltd, who sound proffessional, but it's a bit to far for me. However there's another place in Sunderland near where I live who also fit Webasto sunroofs. A spoiler type ie one that slides back and sticks up slightly is around £800 to £900 fitted. The guy I spoke to needs to call Webasto to determine if it will fit ok, I also need to check my insurance Co Quote
Dicky Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Don`t do it mate Why? Do you know something I don't? .....Worry, worry, worry Quote
The Trouser Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Don`t do it mate Agreed. After owing 2 MR2's with Targa tops I vowed never to own a car with a sun roof again - just not worth it in this country with this climate as I never used them. Just me though Quote
JetSet Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 It would seem to be a dying craft as volumes are low for sunroofs these days and lots of companies have dropped the idea. Most cars now have A/C and few manufacturers have a sunroof option. Had a few cars with factory fitted sliding, tilting sunroofs, mainly Fords, and they all sprung leaks at one stage. Pete Quote
GMballistic Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Regardless of a car having A/c or not I've always loved a car with a sunroof. 1 Quote
veeg33 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I'm a big fan of sunroof! 2 of my previous cars have sunroof and I absolutely loved it. And lucky enough that both of them have no issue at all. Quote
dannybz Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Just buy a convertible instead then? will solve that 2 Quote
MrChow Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I'm a big fan of sunroof! 2 of my previous cars have sunroof and I absolutely loved it. And lucky enough that both of them have no issue at all. Same! All my previous cars had sunroofs, including my very first car (Fiat Uno) which was just a sliding one, never had any leaks at all. Personal choice I think, same with body kits, wheels, spoilers etc.... It may not be to everyone's taste, but who cares what everyone else thinks. If you like it, that's all that matters... I personally like the idea but would never have a convertible as I can't stand them... 1 Quote
Dicky Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 Quick update just to give you an idea if cost. Just been quoted £810, fitted, by a local company for a Webasto 300 Delux (apparently the only one that will fit) electronically controlled sunroof. Quote
a2orry Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Definitely the worst mod I've seen probably lower the value Quote
