well i couldnt find a supercrew with a moonroof when i bought my screw in august so i'm thinking on getting one put in before it snows. i was wondering if anyone has any problems with there aftermarket roof? i am thinking on going with a Hollandia model, i was told this is the same one the ford uses, is this true? i want a spoiler model then comes out and tilts up/back. any input/advice on this would be appreciated.

 

I would like a moonroof myself. Worried about leaks with an aftermarket one tho.

 

Yeah i have had a few cars with aftermarket ones before and every single one of them has leaked. Fortunately i never spent the money on them

 

Matt's F150 has dual sunroofs, pretty neat but they are unable to retract, just tilt and retract. I've seen a panoramic sunroof as well, pretty interesting!

 

i think it will leak. they all seem to

 

As they said...its damn near impossible to find an aftermarket roof that doesnt leak.

I would love to have one but dont want to deal with the leaks.

 

I once had a sedan back home that had an AM moonroof that I had installed that never had leakage issues whatsoever.

However, there is a flipside to thar coin that I so often hear.

 

i pretty much hear of all of them leaking, i wouldnt do it man.

 

when you say Matt's F150 i assume you mean the stone supercrew on 40's on 22's that was just featured in Off Road magazine page 54 titled "Double Take" thats what started this whole ordeal i luv the way that monnroof looks on there. that truck is too pimp, too bad i couldnt drive that thing 10 minutes in our town without it getting condemned damn johny law. you dont have any pics (or can tell me) of how the moonroofs are placed in there? i have the overhead console and was curious on how to keep it? or what i need to change to make it work

 

I had mine in from the factory, but my dad had his dealer installed. Everyone told him not to, but the dealer swore up and down that it was ok. It most definitely is not ok. He keeps paper towels in the open spaces to soak up water. The console is gone. Cut off right after the lights if I remember. They put a cap on it.

 

look in the new trucking mag

they do a install on a chevy silverado of a webasto grandview sunroof

its a panoramic roof.

pretty nice i must say.

 

The fact is that factory roofs are designed to leak. The whole assembly sits in a tray that bolts to the ceiling and have drain tubes that route down the pillars to the ground. Aftermarket roofs don't employ the same setup and are going to be more prone to leaking because most of them are designed to be leakproof from the top of the roof.

 

Go to a well known good place. Dont go to the flea market and get it done. Thats my only advice. It will save you tons of agony and anger afterwards.

 

How bout this, you get me scans or pics of the magazine page and I'll return the favor

 

here is an aftermarket sunroof that is guarented not to leak
