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. ;)

yep.. although repairable (random openings) , there is no cure for paint problems.. the corners around the sunroof are the weakest points and the first point for the laquer to burn .. mine started from there and needs a re-paint now :(

depends.. on relatively colder climates.. its not necessary.. however , for a relatively hot climate its nice to have it as when you come from outside , air condition directly makes me sick..so I prefer opening it and windows..

Horses for courses I guess.

I would dearly love mine to have one, especially for when we drive through Europe (good for looking up at scenery). They're also the quickest way to get heat out of the car on a hot day and, if that wasn't enough, you get the feeling of driving with the windows open without all the noise.

I asked Steve from Omegaspareparts (?) about it (they break a lot of them) he said the original ones have a lip in the sheetmetal all the way around and different braces across the roof - not to mention the roofliner.

That's what I miss! :y
