Not the best piccie as it's in the garage but check out my thread...(as you can see the sunroof has gone but it served me well for 10 years)

I had the canvas roof with vinyl headlining . The canvas bleached over the years and I had to occasionally waterproof it but it remained watertight over 10 years

Not very good at posting pics but I can tell you that they do not leak at all. I'm well pleased with mine, vinyl cover with vinyl lining. Bit fiddley to open but a bit of silicon spray in the runners helps.
I could email you a couple of pics if that helps. PM me your email if you want them.

A couple of ours, fella. I am happy to email you few more if there is any angle you specifically want. I think ours is great especially on a warm day. I am sure that ours is the biggest they do.

If you have a look in the rides and projects page and the cool photo thread mine is in there. Can get you some more pics if you want. Can confirm mine doesn't leak either even though a couple of poppers are missing. Mine is vinyl cover and headlining. Just make sure its tight if you do fit one. I also have some metal strips I've put in it so it doesn't bow in under speed.

Shalom, Lee

I replaced the aluminium bows with stainless steel one's as it would bow when the side window's were open at about 60mph. Mine was 48 inches wide though

Paris can make the sunroof any size you want so just work out what you want to cover the dents. As I remember you pay by the foot length.
