It didn't seem like there were really that many choices of models (I thought there would be hundreds).
The maufacturer websites for Webasto/Inalfa kind-of suck in so far as showing closeup photos of the various products themselves. I couldn't even find a simple, inexpensive popup type detailed on either site.
Personally, I'm not big on automatic anything on cars/trucks (even windows - I wish we could all go back to simple manual cranks like my trusty Amigo) IMHO it's just something else that could/will break at some point, costing more money and creating extra headaches - and what's the big deal about opening something by hand ... but I'm very interested in other member's experiences with sunroofs/moonroofs of any type in the VX.
(the forum/gallery search didn't give me that much info)
Also, can anyone recommend a great trustworthy place to have it done in the Bucks/Mercer county or Philadelphia area of Pa/NJ?
Thanks!

I agree with you about automatic sunroof, my sister's 2007 maxima came with that option.
Two years ago heavy rain begins to fall in FL & she had her Sunroof opened & when she went to close the damn thing guess what ........
Sunroof didn't wanna close at all,she had to race under a passage to avoid the water coming into the cabin & mess all the leather upholstery interior.
If she had the choice to have the manual one she wouldn't had that bad experience
You can't trust technology 100% at least i don't 
The sunroof manufaturers decide to discontinue the manual sunroof to make more profit,after all,you still have to raise to arm & press the button to open the automatic one;To me it doesn't make any sense neither
Dakar was just the begining.
