canerandagio Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hi all, I am about to purchase my first car, although I am not exactly young. It will be an Isuzu MUX. Please send your congratulations ????. My question for you all is.... do you know a good, super reliable shop where I can install a panoramic sunroof? (BKK-Chonburi area) It is a brand new car, I have never even seen it myself, so I want to do a good job and I don't want to go to the local shop down the road, I'd like a proper expert shop that does this sort of stuff in a safe and professional manner. I expect some fire back on insurance issues, on the viability of the idea and on the safety of an after market panoramic roof. I will read them carefully but please try to focus on my question above, which is not 'whether' to install one or not, but 'where' I can get the job done. Thanks in advance, your help is much appreciated. straydog. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Our Mu-X has a rear, roof mounted entertainment screen, could prove problematic. There's a reason most cars here don't have sun (or moon) roofs, they let the sun in and make the interior hot. Nice car in general, hope you have the 3 litre, we test-drove the 1.8, gutless beast ???? It's a real shame there's no BEV or PHEV available.

Could you by any chance recommend a good source for accessories and customisation? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pic of the interior, doesn't look like there is a screen. ???? Maybe a different model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is the earlier model, the new one may have seat-back screens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted May 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2021 HEAT - don’t do it. Cars with Moon-roofs in Thailand get hot. Our current car only has a Sun-roof, the shade underneath is permanently closed which makes the whole sun-roof idea completely pointless in a climate such as Thailands. They (moon-roof’s) are a great idea in cooler countries. The primary concern I would have (as you have had, Op) is the quality of workmanship. I just wouldn’t trust any garage to install a moon-roof on a new car to a standard proficient to handle movement as a car slightly twists etc along with the torrential rains we regularly get in Thailand. Do yourself a favour - do not go down this road. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The dealer should be the most proficient and responsible for any extra... looks very nice - - I am not sure what makes a sunroof panoramic but Crossy is right about the heat.. you don't see many convertibles around either...

Crossy Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Another negative I'm afraid, the rear seat A/C ducts are in the headlining ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have problems fitting a panoramic roof because of the lighting and aircon ducting/outlets in the headliner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisH Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 As, other's said. Don't do it for the mentioned reasons. Also structural ridgidity in the even of a rollover accident. Unless it was perfectly done, it would eventually leak and possibly rust along the edges. I think I'd rather spend money on nich wheels and suspension upgrades, etc. Other vehicles that come with moonroofs would have been a better idea if that was your thing. I think the ford everest has one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Avoiding aftermarket panoramic roof is a wise decision. If you have not already committed to the MUX, you could always look at a Ford Everest. Similar type of vehicle with an OEM panoramic roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wprime Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Just put a black wrap on roof and people will think you have a panoramic roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
