well there's a bizzare request,, seems like one hell of alotta work for not much return, if you fill in the hole in my roof you can have mine!!

[grijander]

I made it before on 131 with a simple one(just up and down) and was quite easy!!

[tunnie]

Nightmare, just buy another Omega with one already fitted. They are cheap enough!

Standard push up roof is easy to fit. "Nibbler" for the metal roof and oscillating small blade circular saw for the roof re-bars

Yep - big saw. big tube of mastic. Piece of p1ss. what could possibly go wrong ?

Yep. Used to retrofit them in new Toyota Previa`s straight off the boat at Portbury dock

Silcone sealant can cover a multitude of sins.

Your link is not working....

If I was going to retro fit a Webasto I would want the old vinyl one that folds back over almost the whole roof...

Something like this

Well, I was thinking in something cheaper like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OPEL-OMEGA-SUNROOF-GLASS-SUN-ROOF-ASSEMBLY-/380100730136?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item587fc4dd18
Although this type may require tack welding? :-/

It's a lot of work for very little return IMO. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have opened an Omega sunroof in the last 3 years I tend to use the climate all the time anyway and open the window if I want some air from outside

If you do go down that route you'll need a new roof lining too

[Kevin Wood]

I was delighted to find an Omega without a sunroof when I bought mine. Can't abide the things. A load of extra weight in the worst possible location (high up in the car).

If it doesn't leak, it'll develop a mind of its' own and start opening itself or, at the least, the paint will flake off the surround and it'll look tatty.

Don't bother - IMHO.
