Custom sunroofs in Maidstone can't be beaten!

Have had roofs done there before and Peter is a top bloke and after you visit his work shop and see how organized he is you'll be impressed.... You could also try prestige, but custom are better

Isn't Prestige Sunroofs in Burwood who were the sunroof installers for Ford when Sunroofs were an option?

I drive past prestige a fair bit and they seem to do alot of work for dealerships, as there are trade plates everywhere. Very hard to get a parking space anywhere near them.

Hey just wondering what you'll be paying?
*This is what I was told
Thanks for your reply, the recommended retail price for the Hollandia 700 fitted is $2395.00, as*your car is BA XR6 which is straight forward to install into we can bring the price down to $1995.00, at this stage this is our best price we can offer you, we do need the car for just over a day to install, bookings are about 1 week ahead, if you have any other queries do not hesitate to contact us

$2100 seems to be the going price if you ask nicely.

Anything better is just a bonus.

Just make sure you ask for the cream coloured control and shade handle. Otherwise you get the standard black ones.

They are apparently HSV specific parts, so cost a little more. But are well worth it. Cos me an extra $100 or so for mine, but at least it perfectly matches the interior.

I had a quote from the place in noble park for $1995 but they dont supply a loan car and so I went through the burwood place who quoted $ 2100 but have a great little focus for a loan car and they have a good reputation as I have found out.

One thing I find, that I never thought of untill I got a sunroof... is that being 6ft 4", the sunroof frame thickness lowers the rooflining 2-3" which means I hit my head on the roof! :(

Few of my friends find this (moreso in the back seats). I'm only 5'9" so fit with plenty of space!

We'll they do come at a space price. I'm 6'2" and am still comfortable, head not hitting anything. Unless I let my hair grow too long.

You'll also probably find they make the back seat unusable for tall people.
