Standard push up roof is easy to fit. "Nibbler" for the metal roof and oscillating small blade circular saw for the roof re-bars

Your link is not working.... Sad

If I was going to retro fit a Webasto I would want the old vinyl one that folds back over almost the whole roof...

Something like this

Well, I was thinking in something cheaper like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OPEL-OMEGA-SUNROOF-GLASS-SUN-ROOF-ASSEMBLY-/3...
Although this type may require tack welding? Undecided

It's a lot of work for very little return IMO. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have opened an Omega sunroof in the last 3 years Wink

I tend to use the climate all the time anyway and open the window if I want some air from outside Thumbs Up!

If you do go down that route you'll need a new roof lining too Wink

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

I was delighted to find an Omega without a sunroof when I bought mine. Can't abide the things. A load of extra weight in the worst possible location (high up in the car).

If it doesn't leak, it'll develop a mind of its' own and start opening itself or, at the least, the paint will flake off the surround and it'll look tatty.

Don't bother - IMHO. Wink
