i dont like the tilt and slide to be honest. Dont see the point ::)

Probably check out a few audi's with a leccy roof and see if it fits straight in. what u recon?

if you want it non tilt just leave the old sunroof in and fit a motor instead of the handle. i think the only things you will have to do is tap some holes to mount the motor on with and make a new panel to hide it with the light in and switch. actually you might have to find a motor that doesnt tilt the sunroof as well cos most of them do. ??? im gonna use an electric windows switch and put it on the middle mount on the centre console 8)

the advantage of tilt is you can open it to let your fag smoke out when it's raining and not get wet ;D

good for letting a bit of air in on the motorway too without all the wind noise :D

reminds me of my tilt+slide tip...

when its raining and you are going down a hill with the "tilt" open *do not* slow down suddenly... you end up covered in cold water  :-[

I have an electric sunroof in my MK2 Gti - it was there when I bought it.  I've no idea if this was an option when my car was made, but it looks like its always been there!  They mechanism is boxed off by dashboard style materials and theres a switch below the foglamp switch.
