Hey guys. I'm new to the forum, i just purchased a 2010 xb. Still waiting on delivery. It took me a good month to decide between the xb and the other choices. My main issue was i wanted a Sunroof badly. I know the RS5 came with a sunroof, and I plan on installing one on my box asap. [stealership said they'd do it for 1500 ]

I have a question. Does anyone think the TC panoramic sunroof would be able to be installed on the xb? I could get one for like 250 in fantastic shape and i think the panoramic style is what i wanna go for.

Also does anyone who has a RS5 have a photo of the button unit for the sunroof? i just wanna see what it looks like, where its located etc. Thanks guys

 

possibly. but as far as i know the xb is a flat roofer, and the tc is on that decent curve so maybe not.

 

There is no way the tc sunroof will fit the xb. If you want a sunroof get the dealer to do it. If you have any electrical or water leaking issues in the future, you'll possily get denied warranty work. Not worth the risk imo.

 

$1500 for a sunroof installed with a warranty isnt a bad price....

the only other thing i would consider would be a full length rag top. prolly cost the same amount.

 

dooo eeeeeeett

 

Absolute negative on the rag top, unless you want to drive around in a car that looks like a PT Cruiser.

Do the dealership sunroof to get it right, you know what I mean? Then post pics and let's seee!

 

Pyro - i assume you have a CONVERTIBLE top in mind which looks like this:

yes, hidious.

however, a full length rag top, is a TOP, when its closed, you dont know its there, when its open, well, you have win...

i was thinking of more along the lines of


and another angle on that tahoe..

 

@Luc1f3r: Eww, yes. That's what I was thinking of, that xB. God, that's hideous.

 

A Volkswagen on steroids!!!!

 

Lmao at the scion cabrio. Waitwut.

 

I really like the idea of the large fabric sunroof. I don't know what they are called, but the new Jeep Liberty's have them and the old 1999 or 2000 ML320's had them. Where do you get that? I really don't feel like spending $1500 for someone else to do it. I want to get my hands dirty!

 

You Cant do it without making the car no longer street legal plus you wont be able to insure it. There is a beam in the roof that is just behind the stock sun roof that would help keep the car intact in a collision. Possible of course.. viable... nah

 

have NONE of you heard of webasto?

Webasto comes with a lifetime warranty on the actual sunroof.

has a Panoramic option.

and doesnt effect your insurance.

Webasto/hollandia is really your only serious option. unless you want it to suck. lol

 

be careful. i have a 2008 with a webasto 524 panoramic. been in eight times in 23 months for adjustments. the model is discontinued could swear the us warrenty is only 50,000. it too heavy for the car and it keeping eating the clips.
