Technical removing roof rails.

Technical removing roof rails.

Haven't made it to the Webasto fitter this week but we have spoekn. It seems there's an additional car strengthening kit for fitting to the Panda - answering one of the questions that arose earlier - at a cost for the bits of 200 quid + VAT - so a complete fabric roof would be about 1500 all together. Have to think about that but not ruled out.

Is it a webasto item? If so I'll ask the guy who has been quoting me about it. Thanks :)
 
Yesterday I visited Autotrim in Ivybridge, who are the other Webasto fitters around Devon. Busy little workshop and a sensible straightforward approach, and I was able to look at a Hollandia 400 roof not yet fitted to a vehicle - quite a lot of engineering involved. They've come back to me today with a definitive quotation, which includes supplying and fitting the additional stiffening bar that Webasto specify. Total comes to 1070 quid plus VAT - 1284.

Very tempting - we put the pattern for cutting the roof panel in place so I was able to gauge how much daylight you'd actually get in the car - it's a lot more than you can get with a single conventional glass panel - which is good and bad as it IS a bloody great hole in the roof of the car.

Now in agonising mode as I decide what to do/or not.
 
PS - I need to make sure that the anti-buffeting fairing that goes across the front of the aperture would fit in between the roof bars.

Hi. Thanks a million for the update. My quote from Surrey sunroofs (nowhere near where I live but the closest!) Has quited me £1250 all in inc the extra reinforcement.
I'm going to wait until after Christmas now but am very tempted. I too was concerned about the wind deflector fitting between the roof bars.....
Am also thinking of having the roof + top of hatch painted gloss black beforehand, I think that'll look great esp with the black sunroof...
:)
 
I'm very close to making a (buttock-clenching) decision on the Webasto sun roof for my 4x4 TA - I think it makes sense to start a new thread on the subject so the latest thinking is in that new thread.
