Default if a rollcage isnt ment for a car with a sun roof...........

does that normally mean it wont fit at all?
or will the sunroof just not work as its ment to as the cage will obstruct the winder or something?

cages are a tight fit and you may find it will foul the mechanism. Andy

that wouldnt bother me to much, i dont mind losing the use of the sunroof.

with a bit of luck i could get one of the engineers at work to knock up something that might allow me to keep the use of it.

My old XR2 had a sunroof that I plated over and removed the mechanism for the interior light aswell to fit.

Like Ran said, check the glovebox access as I can't open mine anymore.

It's a right pain in the arse as there's a dairy milk bar in there and I'm hungry.
