**adamSRi** · 03-07-2002 09:51

Its all fitted and working, thanks to Phil for the info of connecting it to the glovebox loom and part number for surround

and thanks to Yamaha for the motor and switch

Dave Dickson fitted one to his astra a while ago. I think there smart. a great improvement on the windy handle thingy.

**DaveB** · 03-07-2002 18:34

I fitted mines about 3months ago. Total cost was £4.

Ive got the carlton surround in mines, dont fit as good as the astra one, but as I dont spend much time looking at my roof, i dont care.

Very nice. Heavy mind. I'm going the other way. Lose the weight.

**beany** · 03-07-2002 18:54

is it the same surroud for the Vectra ? if so you got the p/t num ? I have motor and switch, praying for loom to be there, so should just need surround.

**Brake-buster** · 03-07-2002 20:24

i got this vectra one in my mk3 astra

**Lagerlout** · 03-07-2002 21:32

I just noticed on the EPC that there is a motor listed for the Astra.
Its the same one as the Vectra 90503754.

Whats the part number for the cream surround??
The only one I have listed is 90439359 which says its grey.

**Mr_PandaPaws** · 03-07-2002 23:45

Those are really nice surrounds what are they both from?? I've got a large surround in mine.....had to chop some of the headlining out!!
Mine's not wired in just yet....but what did you lot wire yours into?? Did you put in a fuse anywhere?? Soz but I know nowt about electrics!!

**djadam** · 04-07-2002 00:37

how does it know when to stop in the middle??? as if you go one way it slides it back and if u go the other way it tilts...

**16v Nova** · 04-07-2002 06:17

lmao questions, questions.....

Anyone tried an 'intelligent' Omega one? the one you dial up a setting and it moves itself till it gets to the desired position?

They're quite cool too.

**DaveB** · 04-07-2002 09:27

I got an auto electrician to wire mine in so that I wouldnt be able to *** it up lmao

How does it know? dunno, just does. You press the button, and it stops.

**adamSRi** · 04-07-2002 13:22

Mines wired up to the glovebox light loom so that means it only works with ignition which is good. You press and hold it to one way (tilt, or fully open), and the other way to close it for eg: hold the tilt to open it on tilt, press and hold slide to close the tilt. then let go and press slide to slide it back.

Simple.

Lagerlout; Yes that is the surround number. It says grey, but its actually creamy grey.

**gsijay** · 04-07-2002 13:48

Looks smart adam, iv got mine on a permanent live so my girlfriend can get some fresh air without leaving her the keys when im out of the car!

lmao lmao lmao

**Brake-buster** · 04-07-2002 17:54

the leccy sunroof and the sunvisors are both from a 97 vectra , no cutting was involved for the headlinning but the motor housing had to be modded slightly to mount the older sunroof in my car ( 95 astra )
the sunvisors fit but u have to move the clip along by about 5mm

u can see bot types of clips used and the differance between the visors

**astramojo** · 04-07-2002 22:21

So what parts are needed then to fit to an astra?

Thanks,

My surround is for specifically for a Astra Mk3. The part number for it from Vauxhall is 90439359. It costs £6.99 incl VAT.

I got the motor and switch off Yamaha on MIG. All the looms came with it.

Its very simple to wire up, you can either splice into the interior light loom which will mean the sunroof is permanently live ie: it will work without ignition, or you can wire it down into the glovebox light loom which means it only works with ignition (same as mine).

On later Mk3 Astras (Sport etc), the looms are already in place.
To wire it down into the glovebox, just feed the wire across the headlining and down the a-pillar trim and then into glovebox. Simple.

not quite true. mines 1 of the last ones made so maybe they got rid of old stock bits - not even vauxhall realised that it was the sunroof loom when i asked them

**Stewie** · 05-07-2002 20:23

AdamSRi - I notice you havn't yet got map reading lights. If its possible to wire them in speak to Shaun aka YAMAHA. He has a few available. Even got the Carlton ones with the little ball map readers. (which look smart with blue sidelight bulbs

)

**adamSRi** · 05-07-2002 22:14

Phil - Oh I see...got confused by what you said.

Stewie - Any pics of these lights? Could be interested.

**Stewie** · 05-07-2002 22:19

No I havn't sorry. I had one but broke it when I was pra8tting about one day!!!

They do look quite nice though.

Are you going to Billing?? If so I'll ask him to bring one with him. You can look at it then. He also has one fitted with blue map lights fitted to his car.

**rossnunn** · 06-07-2002 20:28

Sorry to hijack but i love those leccy roofs and, yes youve gessed it ANOTHER question!

I have a nova saloon and am thinking about hadding a sunroof, talking to people they say the external 'stick-on' types are best if you have no sunroof!

Are the novas roof lining ready made to take a sunroof, if so where is the bulge for the glass to go back into?
