I found someone in America who has a good one that he is willing to trim down at no extra cost in order to save on shipping.
$900 is about what I am pay plus shipping from the US.
The question is sea or air, UPS can do it for about $350/$400 depending on the service but about a week to deliver.
If anyone is importing a bus I would happily pay them a bit to allow me to sit it inside!

I know they are not original but parisbeetles does repo ones for a good price.

Or there is this crowd who I have heard nothing about.

Or this crowd that are supposed to be the beeze neeze, factory finish. But are also very exspensive.

Thanks,
I was considering purchasing the one from vwsunroofs, I really think he does have the best repro arround...
But I priced it out and with headliner and the canvas its about $4k with shipped! Also to add to this it may look a bit to new for my rat bug...
Dont get me wrong though I would love one of the ones he makes!
I have decided to go for one on the samba. The guy is going to box it up and drop it off at UPS for me.
It still isn't cheap but $1500 installed with all the gear is a lot better than $4k.
I am yet to put down a 50% deposit so if someone knows anyone whos hiding one (even if its in Tasmania) I am still keen.
Cheers

$4k for a sunroof?
That's a decent donk right there!
Go the US option (if you don't have any luck locally of course).
Don't forget the piccies when it's finally in

Im planning on documenting the whole build, it is a rat bug so it wont get any paint.
At least a before and after shot of the roof, but I'll be posting pics of the pan and more soon...

Thanks empikg,
I was so close to buying one from the states, I actually paypal'd $450 to him last night.
He then tells me he is interested in buying a Westi camper for $1000 and he wanted to refund me and I pay the guy direct. 
He is legit but I am not happy with having a third party considering this thing is halfway around the world...
So luckily I got my money back and before depositing the $1k...
I got onto another one down in Werribee,
Really can't thank empikg enough...
