Hey, has anybody on here fitted an aftermarket/std sunroof after they bought their car. I don't need anybody with them factory fitted telling me how good they are trust me i know.
Has anybody got any prices, places etc.....as a ***** of a mate got me thinking about one. |

If you get one go Hollandia - same brand as the factory ones. I saw in the flesh how Tickford put them in, and any professional sunroof installer should be able to just as good a job (if not better, if that's all they do!)
Try http://www.sunroofcentre.com.au/ - they are in Melbourne and are a Hollandia dealer.

A little expensive brand new mate...from memory approx $2500...might be worth looking for a good condition second hand one maybe from FTG & getting it fitted. At the end of the day its your money

FTG AS, have one for about $600.
To get one fitted it's about $800-1000. To get a brand new one, that goes into your roof, all electric. Your looking at $1800-2200. Thats for the popular Hollandia ones.

But do pay got a good sunroof/fitting now, as ИИИИty sunroofs and ИИИИty fitting = leaks and lots of problems - unless you plan to ditch the car soon, and would therefore seem like a bit of a waste...

I have the good and the bad. My XRs sunroof is ace, love it. My trucks sunroof is in a milion pieces on a backroad in Lara as the glass part flew off the other night (see thread in the pub), and it leaked like a sieve. The one I'm replacing it with is probably just as dodgy but it's only the truck...

For the extra $500 i'd go for the new one. Pay cash, and you might get it a bit cheaper.
