The delettion of the sunroof option in the Vectra CDXi is only because Holden doesn't have the mechanics to repair sunroofs, that is why they fit after market sunroofs.
It all comes down to the servicing and repairs of the car.

Huh???

You can get a factory fitted sunroof for a commodore.

Deletion of sunroof option in the Vectra means they have less variants to order/stock.

Its not quite factory fitted.

My old mans XR6 Turbo had the sunroof die, and it had to be taken back to Ford, who got another company (the company who makes and fits the sunroof) to repair the problem.

Anyone else get an "Astra La Vista Expo" invite from holden? Mine rocked up in the mail last week. Might go along for a free test drive. I searched the forums but didnt find that anyone else had mentioned it.

When I bought my ZC Vectra earlier this year, the sunroof was still an option but it was going to be done by a thirdparty sunroof specialist. I thought they dropped the sunroof from the range to keep the max price down. They also took the refrig-glovebox out too. hehehe but i got that, that was essential, for carrying the brews for bbq to bbq....
