[ROVERNET - UK] Webasto sunroofs

Or is it a manually operated (that is, not electric) sunroof, such as a 
Webasto sliding sunroof, that denis is looking for?

Whichever the case may be, this is a good reference for Webasto sunroof 
repair and restoration:  
http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/maintenance/webasto/webasto.htm

R&S Coachbuilts in the UK is a good source for Webasto parts and entire 
roof assemblies.  I would think the main challenge would be to find the 
wood framing for the opening in the P6 roof.
