Sunroofs ?

[SomeBeach]

I have a sunroof on my wife's navigator. It's really nice, especially at night. I wish the VX had one. It would probably take away some of the air coming in the window.

A sunroof is a major modification. Not that it is hard to get done.. most pay about $1,200 and it is actually pretty straight forward.

But cutting the roof...., wow.... If I had a choice between two classics ( say picking between two Mustangs or something) and one had an after-market sunroof and one was stock... guess which one I am buying.

That's just me. The VX's I have seen with a sun roof sure are neat but, I'd never cut my baby.....

KeithVXlvr--- First, I totally agree with your analogy of classic Mustang's with/without a sunroof. However, classic Mustang's never had finicky OEM window problems from the factory like the VX. Second; it is customary to modify the VX to various degrees, as opposed to a classic Mustang. Third, if I saw two(2) identical VX's for sale parked side-by-side (same aprroximate mileage, same color, etc), and the only difference was one VX had a professionally installed electric moonroof-- I'd buy the VX with the moonroof, without hesitation.

I have an electric moonroof in my VX (installed by P.O.), and I use it every time I drive the VX "in lieu" of rolling down my side windows, as the side windows can't be trusted without fear of getting stuck in the down position or coming out-of-track. Having experienced the electric moonroof in the VX, I can't ever imagine ever owning a VX without one in it-- yes, it is that sweet.

My electric moonroof was professionally installed and looks/operates OEM factory and is totally leakproof in torenchial Washington State downpours.

In the case of the VX, I would honestly say that a professionally installed electric moonroof will actually "increase" the value of the VX. Especially due to the VX's inherent side window issues and the fact that it is accepted protocal to modify the VX to varying degrees of modification (lifted, super-charged, K.E. skid-plates, etc).

On the other hand, a cheapo "pop-top" sunroof in a VX gives free gratis for the VX owner to get his @ss-kicked, because he took the cheesy way out. Either get the professionally installed electric moonroof, or don't frickin' do the modification. Go big, or go home.

The biggest hurdle is shelling out the $1,200 (+/-) for the professional electric moonroof installation. However; once you experience having it in your VX, you'll wonder how the hell you ever lived without it.

Oh man you hurt my feelings !

I bought a "cheap" pop up sunroof for my VX & now you suggest me to go home. but i haven't make my mind to do it so far.

However i go to agree with you,the electric sunroof is the way to go but a 1999 VX with pop up shouldn't look that bad though.

I think if you go for a pop up just get a high quality one,i rather the manual sunroof instead of the pop up but there's no more avalaible for sale....to my knowledge.

If you have the $$$$$$ go for the electric sunroof.. what else can i say

Makes me drool, then cringe, when I think about how much work it would be, just to see the bottom of my luggage rack...

Man Ldub............... Personally I like looking up at a nice rack!

I have the Webasto sunroof on my '01 Proton and it works flawlessly. It even closes automatically when the ignition is turned off. The company is here where I live in Fenton, MI. It's a super quality product!

Another cure for this is rolling up the window
