Help please...specialist needed to fit a Webasto sunroof

[theadman]

Hi. Your help would be much appreciated...

The car I'm restoring currently has a very big Webasto sized hole in the roof, but only the ash frame remains. Everything else has long since gone.

I'm in Northamptonshire but the only folding roof specialists I can find are in south London or Ramsgate.

Does anyone know of any nearer alternatives, please...and if it was someone you could recommend that would be even better.

I've searched for past threads without success, so apologies if this has been done to death at some stage previously.

Many thanks.

Webastos aren't that hard to fit (especially if someone has cut the hole already) but they are bloody expensive to buy new.

They are very difficult to fit, need very skilled and experienced people to get it right. I've seen many experienced trimmers do a poor job on a Webasto.

If I was you (I can't stand the bloody things) I'd look for a good complete roof panel and fit that. Solve all your problems.

If you stick with it, then speak to RS Coachbuilts:

You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at their prices. You won't need to go anywhere else.

Many thanks for the quick replies - the collective knowledge on this site is amazing.

R&S Coachworks was one of the two companies I have been in touch with, so your recommendation SV8Predator has probably sealed the deal....

....unless someone else has any ideas???
