    I agree with WORMGOD--

    If you're going to have it done; let the professionals do it! I would just look in the local yellow pages of your paper-bound phone book for a respectable auto shop that specializes in such products/services. They can give you the cost/price differences between a custom interior sliding model and the cheaper pop-top/flip-up models. The previous owner of my VX had an expensive electric moon-roof installed that slides within the interior and looks like it came from the factory. It is way cool, and automatically closes when the iginition key is turned off. It doesn't leak a drop in rain. However, my other commuter car has a cheaper pop-top/flip-up model sunroof and it leaks during heavy rain storms. Bottom line-- you get what you pay for. Still, whatever you decide, have the professionals do it. You'll be glad you did. Best Regards, Riff Raff

    Oh yes you right;In my case i had the shop bench checked the sunroof before installation for possible faults.They had the sun roof installed & looks very good,no leaks,no problems.
    It's very important to keep clean & use silicone solution on the insulator rubber once time to time.
    Dakar was just the begining.
