    Any sunroof problems or issues fitted to a VF HSV R8

    Hi Guys
    I have just purchased a VF HSV R8 and thinking about fitting a sunroof Hollanda 700 to it.
    Does anyone know of any problems or issues in this type of sunroof being fitted to the car ( a bit nervous about them cutting a hole in the roof)
    Cheers

    You can have the sunroof in my Calais V, I don't use it. How are you with a TIG?
    Jokes aside, if it was me, I wouldn't be doing it, it won't be factory anymore.

    Not sure if they (HSV/Holden) will warrant the car, could be wrong though.

    I had a Hollandia 900 fitted to my GenF R8SV Tourer (no factory option) by Prestige in Melbourne -they have done a few of my cars now.
    I know they fit stiffeners in the roof as part of the installation. Suggest going to someone who is doing a Holden and see what they do - compare.
    Pleased with job.
    (900 for wagon due to wind buffeting with 700)

    WHY???????????????
    Are you a hundred years old or something?
    With all the mod cons in cars now you don't need one.
    It begs to the imagination why you would ruin a late model car with 'a leak waiting to happen' modification anyway.

    Ive got a sunroof in my car and I like it. I use my windows and sunroof more than I use my aircon! Aircon sucks vital power thats all important for the traffic light GP

    Yes I too had a sunroof in my last r8 and I loved it. Now I don't have one and I still can't get used to having no opening above me....weird I know but I am always reaching up even now.
