What you guys think? Worth it if it was 2-3k ??

Wish I got that FD2 when I first bought the car argh.

Just hunt around for an FD2 that has been written off and get it off there, it will be a lot easier and overall problem free.

sunroofs are nice but very deep in pockets when fixing it up. friend recently had to fix his up cause theres a 5mm gap that wont close and reason is that the gears were jammed. got quoted 700-1500 to fix had 2 options
buy new parts and install or get new one

This.

Seen and heard of similar experiences from different people.

It's possible to get the whole roof welded on which is what i would do.
But watch out if the car's been in a smash, the roof may have crumpled a bit on the sides of the sunroof.

Don't think it was welded on, its a matter of removing the associated parts from one to another.

I got an aftermarket sunroof on my jazz. 8 years hassle free so far

correct removing the mechanisms and cutting a hole in your roof as well

get smaller size RSB.. i havent heard problems with 16/19mm

if u do get cusco, try not to hit the rear wheels hard onto curbs and such.. other option is get the metal reinforcement plates (e.g Corsports USA) that reinforce the thin metal on the lower controller arm where the endlinks connects onto from the RSB

the oem endlink itself is fine, its got a small rubber 'CV boot' what has fluid in it which makes it flexible to move

so in my case, i hit the rear wheel on the passenger side on a curb when turning left and it was pretty hard.. with that hit, the force on the left rear wheel went across the RSB and broke the metal connected to the endlink off the lower controller arm on the right hand size (driver side)... i noticed it when everytime i turned, i would hear a clunk at the rear wheels and saw that the endlink would be hitting the controller arm... and yes with the endlink not connected, i notice a difference when turning.. understeer

Sorry to revive an old topic but, wanna take extra consideration before I install this..

Im gonna be installing a 19mm Ultra Racing RSB from my stock 11 hollow RSB. The discussion is replacing the endlink setup as well. From my previous feedback I got, The 19mm RSB used with stock endlinks should be fine. Can anyone else confirm or give me your 2 cents? Thanks.

Spoke to Webasto Australia about the sunroods

Hollandia 900
http://www.webasto.com.au/products-a...html/8219.html

vs.

Hollandia 700
http://www.webasto.com.au/products-a...html/8218.html


Both cost $2200 including installation, and everything. comes with 3 years warranty.


Price is slight up there, but looks pretty OEM, and I don't mind paying that much. Been reading on them all day, seems not many problems occur regarding these particular aftermarket sunroofs.


Opinions? Tempted =[

[kikimushroom]

3 year warranty is alright, having a sunroof is awesome

dat sunroof tilt, makes a car x100 more sexier
