Wink Calling 300c'ers with OEM Sunroofs

howdy guys
im in the process of buying a 300c and a requirement is that it will have a sunroof
I am having significant difficulty finding the right car, but i wanted to know what the size of the oem sunroof is, my intention being to fit an aftermaket one
all i need to know is the size of the opening in the roof.. so open your roof and whip out a tape measure
Basically If the aftermarket one im looking at is bigger then an OEM one i will go ahead and buy one without the oem roof... as bigger sunroofs are better
thanks in advance!

there are plenty of companies around that will cut the roof, and place an OEM sunroof in for you. over here in canada it runs about 1500$ parts and labour. which is about the same price you pay for the option at the dealer anyway.

Hey man don't get an aftermarket moonroof I did that once and I payed a lot for it too and it leaked all the time. You should not have a hard time at all finding an 300 with an moonroof, you mite end up paying about $500-$1000 more for one but it is well worth it. I never use my moonroof in my 300c.

Thanks for the headsup man... ive had aftermarket sunroofs installed on a few of my cars before and ive never had a problem, unfortunately out here in aus the parts/wrecking side for the 300c is a little bit lacking

all surprises are in store and will be revealed in good time
