To those of you that have them... what brand do you have? What brand came with the Sunshine?

The sunroof I have has been stuck down (well I've just unstuck it). I can't tell if it was done intentionally or if the rubber has just melted. The name on the handle to open it is "Olympic". The sticker has disappeared due to water I think.


Does anyone down here know who fixes sunroofs?

I don't actually know if the shell had the sunroof from the beginning......... if it was not factory whoever put it in did a good job. The owner who began the restoration ws rumored to have paid $1800.00 for the Webasto :shock:

Similar to marvins 2nd question, Where can i get a sunroof fitted in western sydney? Penrith area. Can you get a second hand roof fitted(re: seals)? I don't want to leak like a sieve. I still got a sunroof out of my old HQ ute.

yep the red clubbie in gafmos post has a sunshine
roof, they were called the Autosun Sportsroof and were
made and designed by Auto Sun and Air....fitted
by leyland, winnner of an Australian design awaed
too!! they slid on external stainless steel rails and sealed
by a inflatable rubber connected to the inlet manifold to
keep you free from water leakes and the tinted
reflective strengthened glass kept some of the heat out
(well thats what they say on the ad's :lol: ) dont
know if that helps, but i will bore anyone with Sunshine
details if i get the chance! :lol:
