sunroof or targa for vx?

[tribalvx]

i would be more intersted in the really big sunroofs they have out now that cover most of the roof

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...

FT-- Forget the outside the roof type!!! They do not allow enough open-air space when the glass is retracted, as the frontal edge portion of the glass blocks out the open space as it is tilted outward. What you end up with is a small sideways sliver of a sunroof opening and a unnatural looking VX.

I'm 6'1" and I can attest to you that there is no shortage of headroom in my electric moon-roof equipped VX open or closed. The Webasto electric moon-roof is the answer to your prayers!!! Go visit a Webasto dealer near you home and talk to the manager for more specific details.

Outside the roof models might bump into roof accessories as well...

I just went to a local Webasto installer and he quoted $1200 out the door for installation of a Hollandia 730. He said that I'd have to either remove or re mount my roof basket back a bit to clear the tilt function.
I don't know. $1200 for a sunroof is a bit steep for me. Right now I'd rather do a 5 speed swap for that amount.

I almost bought a manual pop-up a while back just because i would be fun for the trails. I figured I could run it for a while and eventually upgrade to the expensive Webasto. I don't mind a manual sunroof but I'm just worried it might leak.

This is hilarious... I'm biting the bullet.
I just made the appointment it have the Hollandia 730 sunroof installed on Monday!
I'm kinda nervously excited...

Dropped VX off at the shop. They are installing the sunroof today and/or tomorrow.
I feel like a family member is in surgery!

I stopped by the shop today to check on progress. They showed me three problem areas of rust under the roof rails. Not terrible. I bought some Extend and they said they would clean the rust up and spray it and seal it for me. I'm not ready to tackle that type of project just yet.

The sunroof is coming along great. Actually, it should be done right now. Hoping to pick it up tomorrow morning!

When I was there, they had the hole cut out of the roof. Amazing quality of cut. The coolest thing though... I thought the sunroof was going to be kinda small. Actually, it's pretty big! It takes up most of the flat area (non-ridged) of the roof. I can't wait to see it completed.
The tech said he would take pics for me along the way. I'll post them if he did.

We'll see how it goes tomorrow!

So I was looking through your gallery and found this pic. Is the clearance issue related to your basket or your fairing? It sure looks like you'd have a hard time hitting the basket, but I could definitely see where your fairing would be in the way.
