    Don't roast me too much, but has anyone ever installed a sliding ragtop? I'm toying with the idea on my Mondial as the existing sunroof is fast approaching unusable.

    The local Webasto dealer did a great job on my Subaru STI. It is a factory-style electric sliding sunroof. My memory may be failing me,but I think I read that Webasto helped design the retractable roof of my Portofino.

    It's certainly technically feasible. There was a picture of a 308GT4 with a full-length sunroof on it posted recently. But if you do this, you're significantly limiting the number of people who want to be the next owner.

    I’m considering getting a sunroof installed on my 330 GTC.

    Yeah, I agree. Mods don't alway or rarely add value.

    Was this original? If so, I'd get it refurbished.

    It's your car, but I wouldn't do it to a Ferrari. Maybe an old Citroen or Austin Mini.

    My Aston Martin DB6 had a Webasto sliding sunroof. It worked great and sealed well. You should consider what will happen to interior roof height since sunroofs usually take some space below the steel roofline.
