you can ''just'' get away with it on a mk3 escort , although youd think it would be the other way round due to the bubbleness of the thing, i seriously wouldnt use one though , i dont have a sunroof, LOL

I took the one off which was on mine and found all this underneath. Bleurgh!! I'd recommend taking it off regular t ohave a good clean underneath it. The thicker black line is were the seal fits on the roof



altho the missus has said it loked better with it fitted than off.
