I am looking for a pop up Sunroof for my 73 beetle, Can any one tell me where to obtain a new or second hand one?
Two days ago I bought a sunroof from a dandenong vdub wrecker. i was told it was off a beetle, but it was definatly from a kombi. It was flat with no
curve!!! We took it back & was abused, got our money back but will never ever go back thier again! 
I am no expert, but every pop up sunroof (tinted glass) Ive seen on a beetle has been flat not curved.
agreed. they are all flat, which is why they leak live a sieve. thats why britax style is so popular.
Not quite correct..
In the late 80s I bought and had installed a curved glass pop up sunroof in a '74 L Bug, specifically made for VW beetle.
It came from The Sunroof Centre in Melbourne..
Not sure if they are still around but worth looking..
Good luck.
Tony
Hi, Thanks for everyone's response. I have emailed the sun roof centre... so just waiting for a answer. I have seen a sunroof for a beetle that did have a strong curve, it was a used one from VW wrecker, but it looked too old and might have leaked.
Lee has a sunroof?
Talk to him maybe

scroll down to specialty sunroofs...[size=4]one for new & old Beetles 
[/size]
What do people think? Is it too big (18" x 28")?
& is it curved enough?
They are American but gave me a link to the Aussie manufacturer!

There's a factory right here in Melbourne (my side too ) so guess where
I'll be going to have a look hehe
I would still appreciate everyones input...I need to know if it will fit a beetle without distorting the roof or leaking...
Reply to my email to the Sunroof Centre:
Thanks for your enquiry, we can not fit a sunroof to your VW Beetle as the roof of your car is too round, if you have any queries do not hesitate to
contact us on ph: (03) 9548-3366.
