Did the 3630 Sun Roofs - SIT ON TOP- When Tops are closed ?
So they DO NOT sit FLUSH EVER ?
What about wind noise ? On one of the pics the Tops looked too close together , like it would cover up the Back Top .
I really like the IDEA a lot , and I really like the RAG TOP too.

When the weather is nice enough (no frakkin snow) so I can
wash and wax the box, I'll take photos and post a review.
In the week or two that I've had them, I've only been able
to have them open 3 times, and that wasn't for long each
time because it's just too cold out!

I'll post again later, promise.

Guys and Gals I have had mine for 4 months with absolutley no issues at all. I will explain again, it is about the installer. If you have a crapy install you might have issues, I had an excellent install and have no issues and if anything comes up it is covered by warranty. Do it outside the dealership, go to a place that has done several before yours. Ask questions. I hit my top everyday I am on the road. The fact I have this gaping hole to see the sky and birds and planes is seriously bad ___. Bass: come on are you seriouly pumping that much juice that your going to pop the seems. Rediculous!!! If anybody knows Texas weather, it gets real nasty at times and I have had no leaks, no power issues, no cable issues, nothing but wind circulating throughout my ride. Remember dealers tell you what you do not want to hear to protect their butts. Check my ride!!

couldnt they just weld in some cross bars above the headliner, and to the sides. Sounds to me like the wieght of the panoramic sunroof is causing it to sink down. Theres really not enough bracing up there. I think if you maybe built some kind of frame work around the sunroof you would be ok.

Man, I just cam across this post and checked with our installer.... There are some installers around the country that do not install thse properly and are not authorized to perfrom the install of the Hollandia 524, our installer has developed a bracing system they weld into the roof of the car and it is fine. We sell a ton of these and will continue to do so!

Anyhoo. I have yet to have any issue's. Love it, sport it, use it almost daily. When I was doing something with the engine, I can't remember, I had to reset the controls, due to the battery disconnect. Other than that flawless. It is all about the installation and the installer. You want ghetto get a ghjetto job done. You want it right have the fricken dealership do it, warranty it!!!
