maybe better getting A8 Parts to fit it, I know they have done a few, and were also offering one as a prize at the recent open day, or try and find a Webasto agent as it was them who made it, Webasto web site has a find dealer option

A8parts dont do retrofit work any more as a rule - Way too busy processing parts sales.

You *could* drop the roof lining, but its a waste of time, you dont need to.

I know this solar roof saga has been going on a while now - I've done quite a few of these (oddly enough, seeing as I came up with the retrofit in the first place lol) - So if you want someone with a some experience to pop it in for you, and wire it all up, PM me an offer to compensate the wife and kids for losing me on a weekend, and you can bring it to my place if that helps +++ (when theres less drought falling out of the sky preferably)

Thats no disrespect to Unit 20, I dont doubt they'll do a cracking job too, I'll probably just get there a touch quicker +++

I guess its worth me doing a write up on it too while Im at it. Its pretty simple, if you know where the bits need to go....

Or you could sell the solar sunroof to me and I'll get IT to do it on my car - seriously!

Ian, I'll be in touch shortly, for some retrofits.

From now on, you're not IT. As far as I'm concerned, you're the RF Man. +++

Errrr......

It was more a favour for tintin specifically as he bought the car from me, than a public opening of a new service.... :eek3::eek3:

Some retrofits are easier than others - PM me by all means - I have 4 kids and time is limited to say the least but, being a Yorkshireman, pictures of the queen I find quite irresistible... ;)

or you could just get one with a solar roof in it to start with!?! Even my "baby" 2.8 has one......... :D

Too true. Much easier (and cheaper) to fit a solar roof panel to an S8, than convert a 2,8 QS to S8 spec. :D

I think Nollywood makes a good point there..... :ROFL:

Cheers Ian - I didn't intend to start a whole new solar sunroof fitting business for you...

Offer is greatly appreciated, and I've just pm'ed you back.

PS - Scots banknotes don't have pictures of the queen on them - can I pay with them instead ;)
