Webasto sunroof - fitting in 2021 to a classic
Discussion
Hi all
Advise please, I have seen a potential new classic car and SWMBO is on board with the idea, however, both of us would like to fit a period style - sliding fabric Webasto sunroof.
I see all the new parts are still available direct from Webasto, however, has anyone fitted one recently? Who did it etc.

Had one already fitted to my Plus 2 when I bought it.
Filled the hole when I restored the car.
Didn't want the hassle of trying to get the webasto leakproof if I had refitted it.

Shezbo, to try and answer your question...
I had a Webasto roof fitted in 2012 by Peter Harvey. He was trading from his house as Peter Harvey Sunroofs, 1 Stonar Gardens, Sandwich, CT13 9LJ.
At the time, the official Webasto distributor had bought the franchise but wasn't really interested and couldn't fit the roofs! All roads led to Peter, who seemed to be the only person in the UK who really knew what he was doing. He drove from Sandwich to Northamptonshire to fit the roof for me and charge me just over £1800.
The car had had a Webasto fitted by the importer. By the time I bought the car, the roof had long gone, but the hole with its ash frame was still intact.
He did a great job, but wasn't the easiest person to deal with. I suspected he might have retired, but I've just Googled him and he was still active in 2018 and is still listed in some directories..
