Sorry to be monopolising this forum somewhat, but there's a lot of experience out there!
Car is a '68 998 Cooper, pretty straight but I'm doing a lot of panel replacement. Island Blue, with Snowberry White roof. Roof and gutters are in excellent condition, no welding needed and no dents.
I'm making a really solid, nice car out of this, but not original (dry suspension conversion, for example). Before it goes for sandblasting and painting, I'm thinking about a full size Webasto. Could those who have them pass on their experiences? If they're a pain, leaking all the time, losing rigidity etc., I won't go to the expense. But a white folding sunroof would go well - how do you modify the headlining to fit?

Thanks,

Roger

Yes, I've used them before - many years ago for my GT6s.
I'd plan to fit it myself - IIRC, they can supply the whole kit, woodframe and all.

Hi
