    Cool Sunroof, a must have!

    Many already have this mod, but for those of you that don't, get one, it's awesome!
    It is the 742. Two programable buttons, close button, auto close, AWESOME, AWESOME. I paid $1275, others, depending what area you are in, got it for less (around $900). Go to their site and find a dealer near you!

    P.S. How can i make these pictures a bit smaller?

    How much?

    Found a $100 off coupon on their site, but was wondering how much it set you back? Also, did you get the 4300 or the 5300 (deluxe with auto-close, etc)?

    You need to resize them in any photo editor. Or you can use a viewer proggie like Irfanview

    Got my sunroof installed the same day as Tonka.

    Overall very happy. Surprised that I did not have the increased wind noise mentioned by other sunroof owners. I drove from Georgia to Kansas and tested the noise level with/without radio and at various speeds. No excessive wind noise dectected. I do work in a computer complex where there is a lot of fan noise - maybe that disqualifies my opinion in this category - could just be immune. The side of the headliner extends from the door to almost center over the driver seat. Expected to be able to look up and see sky with both eyes - instead have to lean to the right to get that full view. I went through the dealer that sold me my VX and he got a deal quoted to him of 860. He quoted me 900 +tax, so walked away for 960 even. Quality of product and workmanship through Automative Concepts ( Tucker, GA ) was exceptional. There was extremely poor customer service I experienced with that company. I had three stipulations for the install and they only met one. Even Meatloaf would agree 1 out of three IS bad. I would not choose them again. There is another company in Atlanta that installs Hollandia. They will get my next car. As you can see, the Black headliner really makes a difference. In the gallery you can see the full size image.

    This kinda makes me mad! You got the 743, my installer said he wouldn't warranty a roof that big because they would have to cut the brackets that hold the rails, and that it might be a leak hazzard. ARGGG!!!

    I still love my roof though.
    I have the 742.

    Dyanni - What was the model # of your sunroof? It looks a little wider than Tonka's.

    size wize

    I got the 743. I went through the dealer so he would make the deal for me. He called the installer on one of those Motorola two-way radio phones - so I got to over hear their conversation while I waited on his office phone. I asked him to ask her which model they put in, and she said in the VehiCROSS their standard install is 743. Warranty in effect. From the photos the size difference is not that big - the black sunroof looks really good on that proton Tonka!

    BTW - their walk in price is a couple hundred more expensive. They would have accepted the Hollandia 100.00 coupon from a walkin, but not with a dealer price.

    I love my sunroof, especially with the great fall weather hitting us here in Tx. I go to the gym at 3:30am and freeze, but it feels great!! Close tie though between sunroof and PV!!

    I hear ya Nav. I think that maybe by next summer I'll get one. Or hell, lemme get out the tools and just make a complete removable hardtop.

    Soon....... soon....... Too much money has gone into my stereo for this year, and still working on that S/C.
