Beetle sunroofs
Who was it that ask me to chase up the sunroof company in Sydney. Ive forgotten who it was...
Webasto in Sydney still does sunroofs but alas not for the good old VWs anymore they stopped about 5 years.

So how hard are old mechanisms, that are in good nick, to find?
Who can fit them well here in Victoria??
Do they still leak even if fitted properly??
People have told me they are known to leak

I found out about mine from asking questions at a show (Action Day, QLD) I was told that a bloke had one and was put in contact with him by one of his
friends. I went up had a look and bought it, I only bought it cause it was complete, like I said it definately needs restoring! I think you can find
good Britax example's a lot easier, one of my friends scored a perfectly good Britax for $200, it now take's pride of place in his 60's
Beetle.
Ill keep my eye out for ya Jenz, not promising anything, but ya never know!
Ill see if I can get some picture's
