Think its all about strength in the shell... the lack of strength due to a giant hole there lol

Some people are wierd and dont like them but the tilt slide types have drainage pripes down the B pillar to the sills and the C pillar to the boot corners, when the drain holes in the sills get blocked they rot the sills faster and the boot pipes often pop out of the drain holes and can flood/rot the boot this could be a major reason!

i like sunroofs, it helps to hear the car through tunnels, and theres some nice ones near manchester airport...

Ive got a factory fitted sunroof in my 83 A reg nova, it a single left up vison. I like it...gives extra light and abit more retro.

Each to there own i surpose
