WOW i really like that alot. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost?

 

Very nice install. How does the glass open?

 

looks good

 

It wasn't too bad. Somewhere along the lines of $1800.

The front half of the glass slides back. It slides over the rear portion of the glass.

 

Very nice. I like it a lot!

 

I guess it's a little late to tell you this, but if I'm not mistaken, there is a serious problem with these sunroofs in xBs. Apparently the giant hole cut in the roof causes structural weakness. Enough that it can ruin the car. There is at least one thread on here about it. Webasto supposedly stopped selling these for xB's because of it.

The good news is, I hear they have bought people all new cars because there is no way to repair the damage. I would keep a real close eye on it if I were you.

Recently another member posted that webasto now offers a support bracket for the panoramic sunrrof kit that cures the roof buckling problem found in xB's. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...o+phone#609611

 

Awesome. That is good to hear! Thanks for the heads up.

 

I thought thay problem was with the canvas top that accordians back.

 

oh daaang tell me if there are any negatives about it (wind noise, leaking, etc whichever)... b/c I sooo want one now... that looks soo nice

 

i was the member that posted about the fix

webasto has brackets that need to be installed


i just got mine installed a few days ago as well ...

total cost INSTALLEd 1395 and no TAX lifetime warantee

 

i was just looking at your pics

they did a not so great job on the install of the box with the OPEN CLOSE buttons... the place that did mine .. even wrapped that in headliner material .. so all you see is the 2 buttons...

i dont like how they left your box exposed like that and why put the domelight all the way in the back ?? what good is that


here is a pic of how mine was done .. they intergrated it into the headliner .. you cant even tell its a seperate piece ...



im sorry to come across as a dick .. but if i paid 1800 and they did that stuff to me id be ____ed

 

Looks great.

Let us know how it works over time.

 

no problem!


I dunno man the color of the control box looks close enough to other light colored plastics found inside the BOX to at first glance pass for oem. I have seen other installs on these boards and in person and his is one of the cleanist i have seen. But your control box looks pretty awesome!

 

I'm definately liking the second one better.

Thats something that would be pretty easy to go back and do though.

 

hmm I like the wrapped control unit but... I do think the light moved back there has its advantages... for one thing... now he has a trunk light. and if he gets a rear view with map lights that'll take care of the people who need lights in the front pretty easily. ..

or installing a second light unit like the one you have can probably be relatively easily done.

 

i agree a light in the back does have its advantages

but when a roof like this is installed .. they should move the light to an area where it can be used

you shouldn't have to ADD more lights to have a useful domelight when all is said and done

the right thing to do is move it to the front .. so its still useful for what a domelight is supposed to be used for. having just that light in the rear is pointless for a useful domelight

the roof looks like a great install .. i just think i would be irked if i paid 1800 (thats about the highest i have heard of anyone charging for this roof) and they didnt do small things like wrap the box in liner material and putting the domelight in a USEFUL area

 

btw soon2BxB... where did you get yours done? and have you had any problems with it yet?
