The Perspex sun visor for the sunroof on my rover p5b coupe is hanging down a bit too low and it seems that there is some slack in the hinges/brackets. The problem with this is that it makes contact with my head when driving. Surely this cannot be normal! Am a bit concerned at the prospect of decapitation in the event of an accident! Is there an easy fix or some adjustment that can be made?

Hi Dave, I have seen some new hinges on ebay, under britax sunroof, maybe this would sort it?
I fancy having one fitted in my coupe, could you give a rough overall size of yours please.
I see MGB is 33 inches square, 30 inch hole size

Many thanks I will have a look on ebay. I will measure the roof for you and post the dimensions in the next couple of days.

They only seem to do one model now Steve if you are going new? I have recovered a couple in the past making the cover wasn't too bad but the wires and rusty steel were no fun  SUNROOFWebasto UK |

Nice links John, interesting that folk still make sunroofs for retro-fitting, looking at that advert the thickness may be an issue fitted to a coupe though, I'll check it out.
Thanks

Have just contacted the sole webasto agent in the uk. The hinges have been re manufactured new at £70 a piece! Will be taking mine apart to see if they can be repaired before I resort to this.

Dave, contact Peter Harvey. His details are on here and are on the www. He used to work for webasto and restores weathershield and webasto. I have a weathershield - metal frame so a bit flimsy. The webasto has a wooden frame and I tthink it has more structural strength.

Thanks for the tip Baldrick. I think that the sunroof is a nice addition to the car but I have a feeling it is going to add to my restoration costs. Cheers. Dave
