Oh Jesus :shock: Let us know what sort of money you're getting quoted to fix that. I'd say you'll need to be sitting down when you hear the quote :cry:

elveezz, I'd consider going for the sunroof if I were you, personally I think they look fine, pending on where the damage is, it might make it easier for the guys to fix it up as well.

I could be wrong but I don't think you can put an aftermarket fit sunroof in the FTO as the roof has design indentations in it.

All FTOs with factory fitted sunroofs do not have these indentations, i.e. they are a different shape panel altogether.

We know that the roof indentations aren't there for the sunroofed fto, just need to know if that stops you putting an aftermarket sunroof in there.

there is a bodyshop just off the malahide road, near clare hall, its been a few year since i was there, the guy reckoned they could do an aftermarket sunroof for an fto, he said it wasnt the easiest conversion but was doable, but this is were my memory gets a bit hazy...................... as i can't remember exactly which turn off i took, but they are specialists for sunroof conversions................ does this place ring a bell to anyone here?
