To get the sunroof back in you need to remove the front seats and the centre console. The reason is that the headlining has to come out.

Are you sure that the roof isnt just OPEN.

LOL, how & why, he said he left the car parked at his g/f's with the windows down & the keys in the ignition, why not take the car?

My guess was that either the sunroof has been left open accidentally OR someone has opened it whilst it was parked up (seeing as the keys were in the ignition this wouldn't be hard).

I'm sure sunroof's have been stolen before, but find it difficult to see someone doing this in the open. If you wanted to do this and you had the opportunity (with the keys in the car!) surely you'd take the whole car to strip and sell for parts on ebay. Secondly, how far can you drive with the sunroof open, not realising it's open - not very far is my guess...

Good call. I call also and with the ALL CAPS writing, I wouldn't doubt it's the C230 guy (I can never remember his original screename). Phil, amdeutsch, you guys want to chime in on this?

Maybe it's a coupe and they popped off the panorama roof, that's more feasible than removing the sunroof.

I think we've been lead on a wild goose chase.

Besides, even if you're drunk or high on drugs, you can't possibly not notice that your sunroof is gone. I'm not speaking from experience, don't drink (underage) and don't get high on drugs.

Yes, definitely wild goose chase.

heheh, you most certainly NOT speaking from experience because it is very possible! However, at that point you would most likely be so far gone that driving home wouldn't be. That, and drinking and driving are STUPID and anyone who does should have very harsh punishment!

I left my keys in the car with the windows down, my iPod in full view, my Passport stuck to the windshield and my wallet (which was stuffed with cash) on the passenger seat. All they took from me were the keys.
