Hi,

Could this simply replace where the sunroof would be on an XS model?

Thanks

Thank you!

Almost done, just some extra trimming around the console and the bracket needs to done, then finished.

I ran the cables across the roof / headliner rather than down the A pillars, as I have a set of 5 rocker switches up there, and there was a lot of wiring that need to be hidden.

Pictures to follow once it'd all installed and closed up.

So far, easy to do, just takes time and a lot of patience in measuring and cutting the headliner and making it fit neatly.

Thanks for your advice and help

MuD have an option for just below the passenger glove box / grab handle.
Might be worth taking a look.

Could you use this without a sunroof but put a supporting bracket across the roof? Like the look over the full length one but dont want to put a sunroof in!!!

Mine is full length, I don’t have a sunroof, you have to remove the middle roof support bracket if you go full length.

It’s a simple job to fit, but time consuming, running cables etc, then cutting the roof liner, mine needs a trim on rear to make it sit flush...

It’s hidden up in the roof, honestly, most people don’t know it’s there until you point at it.

Other than the light on the rear section, can it be used for anything else?

CB / Switches / or a radio / you can mod the rear light panel and put in switches there if you want.

I put in a RR P38 light panel with LED’s. Easy plug and play, I now have map reading lights for each side.

Like the light. Have to look out for one. And switches on the blank panel is a good idea especially for ones not used all the time. Saves cutting into the dash which I was looking at, so keeps them up out the way and retain the original look of the dash. If you spray painted the rear section black, it would blend in more with the dark lining. Did you get yours from LRS?

Yep, he had a few left in stock.

Prefer it silver / stainless, enough black already or it starts to look like the inside of coffin
