installing sunroof in a vz executive

[henrytad]

hi, i am looking to buy a sunroof for my vz executive, there around $500 on ebay but how much would installation cost and where could i get it done?

I looked at that one on ebay too. I called a place I found on google and they said about $1000 to install if you have all the bits.

Not really answering your question but i have heard of heaaaaaaps of issues with aftermarket sunroofs leaking etc. It also appearantly devalues your car in some situations.

Just thought id let ya know what you are probably already aware of. (Dont get me wrong, i want one bad as well so let me know if you come across something decent)

Good luck!

from what ive heard, alot of places wont put in second hand sunroofs due to warranty issues etc. things to do with the sunroof could be slightly deformed so it could leak etc

asked a few places and got the same answer, the whole leakage issue so i guess ill just let it go. everyone i will be listing my car up for sales next week, might as well get rid of it so i can upgrade to VE

As discussed on your other thread, forget the sunroof and go the VE but get one with as much of the extras as you can afford.

For that amount you may we well get a brand new sunroof. That would be $1500.00 and for an extra $500-$700 or so you can get a brand new Hollandia 700. If it was me I would personally just go brand new for piece of mind.

Like others here, I was super-enthused at the prospect of a sunroof in my my first car years ago. A sunroof was installed on my Lexcen CSi V6 wagon in 1997. It leaked around the edges, the internal lining became very tacky and hot overhead sun was extremely annoying. Leaks occurred (Tasmania's west coast is the best place to test out cars for leaks!) persistently even with sealant and contributed to warping of the roof. It was, in hindsight, a very silly thing to do but a valuable lesson not to meddle with the roof at the risk of compromising structural integrity, among other things.
