Road speeds were increasing and vehicles were changing from occasional use to full-time transport meaning that they were increasingly being used in bad weather. An open cabin allowed the driver to be more connected to their surroundings, demonstrated that the car's owner employed a paid driver (one reason chauffeurs wore uniform) and identified the owner through the driver's livery (the other reason for the uniform). Rest installation is been shown in the pictures.A common configuration for early automobiles included a fixed roof for the rear passenger compartment and an uncovered section for the chauffeur in a style known as Coupe de Ville, Sedanca (two door) or Sedanca de Ville. Webasto's SOP also included using an anti-rust solution on the edges where the cut in the roof is made as a precaution. So i was shown that the chassis of the sunroof will come there to strengthen that portion. This raised some question in my mind about the strength of the roof. In my case because i opted for a non-recommended model, Headliner had to be removed and alternation to a beam had to be made. I most of the cars they fit the cars with out even removing the headliner.
The entire job sounds so tedious but they fit a roof with in 2hours if no alternation are required to the car. All model have standard features its just the size and opening area changes from model to model.įeatures like ANTI-PINCH, AUTO-CLOSE when ignition is switched off are standard.Īnyways knowing i was very particular about the installation, I was made to meet the webasto trained technicians who talked me thru the process, showed me the tools, i got to know webasto used sparkfree cutters and grinders and man they do a neat job.Proper marking sheets are provided that helps them to fit the roof properly. Tough i wanted to go for the INBUILT 730 Model but that wasn't available and i was impatient to wait. I selected the Holandia deluxe LARGE 300 Model. Long discussions happened and finally i decided to have one. I had seen many cases where people ended up buying Chinese sunroofs to save a buck and then installation by people who don't know what they are doing ended up as a disaster.Īfter finding a webasto dealer in Delhi, I paid him a visit.
My apprehension was not the product but the installation, Procurement of the sunroof is easy but installation needs professional hands. Webasto being an OEM supplier to almost all automakers, i had my trust in it. After a major fallout with Motherson india years ago Webasto had shut its operations in india, Finally Webasto is back in india and also in Delhi.Īfter years of waiting and search for right company and support.
