    Thumbs up Moonroof

    Initially I Had a Pop Up Glass Sunroof installed on my 2001 Kaiser Silver VX. I had many Problems with it Leaking Because of the Silicone. I brought it Back to the Installer and Paid the Difference and He Installed a Power Glass Moonroof and Replaced the Headliner with a Black Color instead of Grey. Total Cost was About $900 which was a Good Price,normally it cost a few hundred more!

    There have been a few people that had professionally installed power sunroofs. From what I have heard the cost is usually around $1000. No VX was ever made with a oem sunroof. As far a I know.... I have the only convertable VX (custom). I searched for other drop top vx and could not find any.

    There's another convertible VX that was made to match the VX-O2.

    Although, it's a bit different from your convertible.

    I wonder if the Porsche 914's fiberglass targa top is anywhere close to the lines of the VX. It might be a candidate for modding to fit.

    Vegas has so little rain. Not much for me to worry about.

    Mine was installed by original owner and looks factory. Also closes automatically when ignition is shut off. No problems at all

    Hollandia/Webasto Sun Roof Model 743






    Not my pics. I've always wanted a sunroof but I heard it lowers the headliner by a couple inches. I'm a little concerned about losing head room.

    I was thinking about having a large moonroof installed from that support beam that our VXs have behind the seats in the roof back to the spoiler... But if you're going to be doing any wheeling, then you'll have to worry about leaks.

    does anyone have the kind where the glass lifts up & over the roof? this would save on the headroom issues. like the one that came factory on the 2g eclipses...
