Sunroofs - a job best left to the pros?

Postby thehangmen » Mon Jul 10, 2006 4:27 pm

:idea: Toying with the idea of taking a sunroof out of an Escort and putting it in the bus (Smiley semi-hi top).
Is this a straightforward challenge or am I just asking for trouble?
:?: :?:
If the latter, what's the cost of fitting one professionally?

It's not an easy job as the Transit roof is not flat so is kinda hard to seal. I wouldn't even reconmend it as a professional fit, even the webasto that was fitted in the Cyco van was no end of troubles.

The Mk2 LWB has a completly flat roof, so they are easier to fit sunrooves in. I agree with Mr MP, leave it to the pros.
