I will never own a car again with a sun roof weather it's factory or not.. My last car had a factory fitted sunroof and it leaked like a biotch.. Had to seal it up and used a full corking gun of silicone and that didn't work then used tape over that to seal over the top.. Then it stopped leaking..

Agree 100%. The only way i could stop my stupid sunroof from leaking was to get rid of it and fit a new roof with no hole in it. Problem solved.

They're a **** idea, don't get one fitted you'll regret it.

I couldn't care how good the rest of the car is, i'd never ever buy another car with a sunroof fitted.

I had a prestige sunroof in my VT it was the best didn't have no drama about leaks or anything I'm sure as well if you get a brand spanka there would be a warranty on it

VE's are not recommended for retrofitting of sunroofs unless they are ordered new with one- the turret is different for sunroof versions. Omega's don't have sunroof as an option i think

Was the sunroof fitted by the factory or was it a dealer option, did you adjust the glass panel (or get it adjusted ) and finally were the drain tubes clear and flowing. These are the main reasons why a sunroof leaks unless you are talking about the old pop up style roofs which have never been a good idea.
