Anyone ever attempted such a thing to a non sunroof 306? Probably a massive job but I fancy a bit of a challenge. Silly idea I know!

After market sunroofs vary in grades of s**tness. Very very rarely are they any better than that.

If you really must have sun roof , sell yours and go and buy a 6 with a factory fitted one.

The stock ones are s**t enough with all the rust and leaks.
You've not had fun in a 306 until the first time you get lift off oversteer around a roundabout the morning after a rainstorm and the upper console/headlining decides to drop 2 litres of beautifully chilled rainwater right on your crotch mid-apex.

Laugh my ass off

so true!!

just fix the AC, its better than a rusty roof.

Citroen did it better, plastic cartridge bolted in place, not a metal frame welded on.
