Default How big of a hole do I want....

I'm torn between two roofs with the interior open glass dimensions listed with each.

I've decided the last major mod to my xB will be the roof. I grew up in North Dakota and I want to take advantage of the sun!

Panoramic GrandView 524 $1,995.00
27 1/4" x 18"

Moonroof Hollandia 790 $1,295.00
32 3/4" x 13 1/2"

Notice the roof is wider but the panoramic is longer, I figure price difference and the fact that I rarely have passengers but having a huge glass roof to allow sun and etc in - fun fun fun!

The company that I would have do the install was working on a brand new $350k Ferrari F430 Spyder and the gentleman told me he would do the install himself, so I have no worries on workmanship.

The price is installed - start to finish.......

I'm swaying towards the Panoramic but just can't decide 100%......

Just make sure that whatever you get does NOT disturb the brace across the middle of the roof. There have been problems before with installs that ended up weakening the unibody chassis. A good shop shouldn't have a problem with that, though.

I would assume the brace is completely removed w/ the panoramic roof so maybe I'll keep that tidbit in mind.
