Hi does anyone know where I could buy a soleil roof ? Would a sei one fit a cinq .would love to make my mum a soleil cinq as she's always wanted one but everyone she's went to see has had rotten arches where the roof leaked or they never worked
 
Had the same problem looking for a Soleil here in Holland. Half the roofs didn't work and I figured the other half were probably ticking time bombs... I think the Webasto 400 roof is similar and fits but is hugely expensive. In the end, I bought a regular Cinq 900 and I've sourced a Britax Sunway 30x36 roof (it came from a Sporting). Being manually operated, there are no motors or cables to break or jam. I plan to fit it in my car. The headlining is shot but that's not too tricky to replicate (sewing in straight lines). You could try finding this type of roof on ebay or something. It's the same size opening. I'll post my story once I've fitted it. Here it is still in the donor car:

I have a complete Soliel roof including frame and rails (no motor) in my garage as a spare I intended to use at some stage. I did pay a lot for it a few years ago, but could be persuaded to let it go.


pm me if anyone is interested....

Hmm ill keep a eye out for one :)
 
A quick update, I have put the Britax roof back together (still misses a headliner) and bought a wind deflector from a Twingo at the breakers. I will start cutting a hole soon...
