I have a friend with a 73L bug interested in a sunroof.

He has seen the pics ot the Golde's in various posts but there aint any really good pics of a britax set up

what parts of the sunroof are you interested in specifically? or do you want the whole thing and how it looks in the car?

I have shown my mate from Das and Jenz cars what a Golde looks like and how much it will cost him.
I have shown him the pics ot that Britax that bounced around the country what one looks lik but it was out of the car.
I cant fine many pics of what a Britax looks like installed.
All the pics i have found of your oval are pretty much from the side. More of the car than the roof.
I can find any pics of a Britax from the inside.

ok, these are not great pic as I've used my phone.
one of the outside-back and one of inside...sort of

another thing to think about is if you going to have a rack as well, some dont let the rag-roof open that well.
A few folk chuck off at "Flat4" racks but their one of the few that let you open the rag in-side and not worry about if its going to get hung up on the rack.
once again, their not great pics but...

OK this is probabally what i want to see

You seem to "sort" of have a hood lining??? Have they cut it at one of the bows??

Seems to be the case of the back?? cant quite work out the front??

I hacked the hood-lining myself, you like, I amaze myself sometimes👍
I think you need a good trimmer to sort the bows so it looks right, or just bring it to me, I'll fix you up.lol
... the front of the rag is where the black handle is. now some Britax come with no inner white(or black) trim too.

OK - so from what i can understand the Britax comes with a inner lining from the black vinyl.
It is also hard to retain your existing hood lining??
I (my mate) will need to redo his lining after (or before or during the installation??)

Some one will need to cut the hole and then i will need to go to the trimmer so as the lining can be tucked under the Britax frame/clamps??

rob, can i ask.. did u seal the outside of the rag with urethane? or just bolt it up?

i have a britax rag here.. needs to be re-covered inside and out before i do anything with it.. either install or sell but it had eurethane sealing it where the rag bunches up at the back.. is this how you did yours?
