After market sunroofs

[Michael4]

OldiebutGoodie has confirmed that Webasto no longer make aftermarket sunroof kits. 

Is there anyone still in this business? Has anyone recently fitted a canvas sunroof to some sort of vehicle and if so, what was it?

Many years ago I went into the old Citroen garage on Clapham Common and bought the whole roof, including sunroof off one of their scrap DSs. Peeled it off, strapped it to the roof of my DS and took it home. Once fitted it leaked into my lap for the next ten years...

That is a shame. It used to be The Trimming Centre, Lewes. I emailed about a roof for my Rover P6 a few years ago but never did anything about it. Their Facebook page says permanently closed for about two years.

My email reply came from Steve Camp who was the owner at the time. He can be found on Facebook so you could message him and ask if he knows whether anyone has carried on with the folding roof?

Scrub that. I just read on a TVR blog that he has sadly died in 2021!

Possible line of enquiry? Came from here:

Thanks, will give it a go.

Have found a US company that apparently does kits but know nothing about them.
