Britax/ webasto sunroof.

Postby 6sabre » Wed Apr 07, 2010 9:07 pm

The main place these days is RS Coachworks on www.tudorwebasto.com
as they took over the tooling etc.
I have heard mixed reviews about how helpful they are, from brilliant to downright rude. Only way to find out is to try.
Good luck

I used them last year and the service was 9/10, but the finished quality of the new sun visor wasn't up to my standards so 5/10.

Just my opinion :)

Rang RS Coachbuilds as suggested and they were most helpful..

They expalined what needed to be done to mine to repair it at £575 or a replacement at over £650, both options sadly not within the budget I have left to restore the car including paint and interior, so still on the look out for a unwanted item in a reasonable condition...

Interestingly though the owner consulted his book of notes he has made during the years and tells me that the Gilbern only had the wooden framed Webasto type sunroof fitted at the factory, the metal frame weathershields must be after market or dealer installs..

Another fact that might be worth investigating for accuracy

Not sure what the original enquiry was but I used a chap called Peter Harvey based in Sandwhch Kent to refurbish a Wethehrshield sun roof fiited to a GT. Happy to reccomend him and the price was £335 for a full refurbish in 2007. His telephone number is 01304 614412.

I can also recommend Peter Harvey, he rebuilt a sun roof for me, which included reducing the length to suit my car and fitting a new headlining that I supplied him with, so that it was the same as the rest of the car headlining.
