Cringe at the idea of an aftermarket sunroof.
Are they more reliable than they used to be?

yeah i'd like to know the same thing... i like them but the vectra GL doesn't have a sunroof.. i'd consider one, but i know too many people who got wet when it rained. another guy i know tapped his up because of water leakage, but then it wouldn't work.

I got one when i got my astra, from prestiege sunroofs. pretty impressed with it think it cost me about $1800. But straight up i have had a few minor problems. After contineous use around every 6months it doesn't seem to align itself properly when shut, it's only out by the smallest of fractions but inturn increases a bit of road noise and the wind passes by it etc.. When u close the inner lining it's fine but just thought i'd tell u straight up. Oh and it'll lower your roof a bit too so keep in mind. I'm just over 6foot, but it's no problem.
think they have a website
Prestigesunroofs.com.au (http://prestigesunroofs.com.au)
Pretty sure they're australia wide, not sure though..
They have 3 years warranty provided you service it every 6 months or something.. something i've never done..
hope that helps

Yeah it's a fair luxury item, but hey, wat else do u spend your / the banks money on??!! I love it, and i don't think i could buy another car without one, but ur right they aint cheap.
NB: the price is for an eletric one, and good quality - never come close to leaking etc..

I hope so.
So far so good, the only factory fitted sunroof that I know about is on the Vecra International and optional on Vectra CDXi. Not even Holden or HSV do one. :screwy:
p.s CitySunroofs are at fivedock.

Does slide mechanise go up and back, or down and back?
Glass sunroof with internal 'blind', or metal only outer like the Prelude?

I got Holden to do one before I picked it up and it is da bomb. I'm spoiled by it and can now never own a car without one. It was about 2k on top of the price of the car and is a 'Webasto'. Never had any probs with it. It can go up like 'onenuts' and completely retracted inside the roof steel. I believe they also strenthened the roof with extra steel to prevent any flexing.

Yeah same here, it slides back in between the interior lining and the sheet metal.
