    Sunroofs

    All of my experiences with sunroofs have been bad ones. Leaks, rust, broken cables, electrics etc make me recommend that you don't do it.

    x2 Don't do it n:

    I'd recommend you sell your current Passat and get a OE Passat with a sunroof

    x 3 dont do it.... nothing worse than someone cutting a hole in your roof... i go by the fact that factory ALWAYS fits the best.

    And I'll be number 4. Don't fit an aftermarket roof in it, it'll have a big effect on value when you come to sell it.

    I'm number 5 from personal experience

    I bought my passat with an aftermarket sunroof and i have had problems this year.

    For about a week in March i could not open it... Just did not want to work.

    Works now but makes a bad noise when opening sometimes and when it feels like it, it will open then close then open again all on it's own. Leave the roof stock.... trust me.
