When I went to buy a sunroof, my Webasto dealer said he would not order me the folding canvas model, and steered me to this inbuilt slider, which I am glad I got:

I have a Webasto 700 in my XB gen 1 and have had nothing but problems. Mabye I got the lemon but it's been enough that I'll never put an aftermarket sunroof in anything ever again.
I don't mean to be negative. I just want to let you know they can be problematic.

You said your installer incorrectly routed the rear drain tubes to the xB's C pillar instead of the B pillar. The extra distance did not allow good sloped drainage as the rear tubes went back along the roof, which trapped water, which prevented more water from the gutter from draining freely, which caused the gutter to back up and leak onto the headliner.
Did your sunroof gutter continue to overflow after the installer re-routed the rear drain tubes directly down the B-pillars?
To do that, they had to remove the headliner again. Did all that removing and reinstalling the headliner cause a mess?
Were there any problems that were actually the fault of Webasto's materials or design, as opposed to a poor installer?

There also may have been a glass moonroof that was nearly as big.
Webasto quit furnishing both of them for the xB as there were problems. I think the opening was so big that children were sitting on the edge and deforming the track. The folding model would admit water from the side spray of carwashes, and the fabric and stays gave it a short life expectancy so I don't think Webasto even warranteed it.
My sunroof installer refused to get me the folding sunroof even though it was still available. Instead he got me this moonroof which has been perfect for over two years and is waranteed for three:

The folding rag is universal. www.streetbeatcustoms.com sells them, too.
I'd opt for a glass moon/sunroof. I think they look better!

There is no comparison between a Webasto and the universal sliding ragtops sold by Streetbeat Customs. The Webastos are internal, motorized and sold through professional installers while the universal ragtops are mounted on top of the roof, manual, and "designed for the do-it-yourself and comes complete with everything you need to add a slider sunroof to your vehicle."

Sidenote, Webasto is quite a large company. We use Webasto fuel heaters on our buses.
