Try a scrappy for summat bling, like a late Discovery with an electric roof or even two 8)

To be honest the word 'curvature' isn't one often heard in relation to T25s :lol:

I'll bet the seal takes whatever slight deviation there may (or may not) be. :wink: It was just an example of summat with 2 sunroofs ... like the Espace/Scenic (which had leaking issues) for e.g.

agreed curvature and t25 not used in the same sentence very often
but it's such a great word
like i said i'm just toying with the idea at mo, won't be cutting any holes for a while (def not when it's minus stupid outside)
so if anyone has got the definitive (another nice word) solution please let me know :)

Years ago I fitted an aftermarket glass sunroof in the front section of roof over the front seats, that was before I fitted a pop top some years later, the curvature was no issue as the glass roof had some built in and the sealing gunk it came with took up the rest . It was really good unless you were in the south of France and your head got sunburned (fixed by closing a towel into the open roof! Try ebay you might pick up an aftermarket one, I still have mine in the loft of my house if I ever need it again! With my Devon, I even thought about fitting it in place of the little roof vent, but then my surfboards would cover it up anyway ho hum.

our bus has got two fitted, from factory (me thinks).
pretty sure curvature won't be a problem, recently spent a fair bit of time prepping and masking for a respray and looked flat to me.

don't

if your camping in it don't fit a sunroof condensation problems loss of interior heat and dripping condensation will annoy you in the morning.
