NonMember Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I'm not sure whether it was an extra. My GT6 used to have one (before the sunroof disintegrated) but my first Vitesse didn't. However, they were different makes of sunroof and I don't think either were Webasto. I didn't find the visor to be particularly useful on the GT6 but then the sunroof was too short to be really useful. The current "temporary" removable panel makes for a good sized aperture when it's out - no folding bits blocking the back half up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Vacher Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Not sure if it was an extra , I thought it must have come with the roof. I find mine in my GT6 very useful. moving it up and down I can control the amount or air entering the car, thus at speed reducing the buffeting and also the wind noise level.

Pete Lewis Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 many more modern and older fold back sun roofs create buffeting they used to be a plastic external deflector attached to the roof simimilar to the ones you can get for side window anti buffeting created by modern aerodynamics so you can drive with the windows ....OPEN heres a roof one on ebay as far as aware triumph used webasto and britax as suppleiers of the fold backs Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Deas Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hi I'm new from today to this type of forum buy I have a 1965 herald 12/50 model that requires a fair bit of restoring including the skylight folding / sliding roof. I have the old one but it was already removed from the car as it's in such a poor state, is there anyone who has one for sale or even any images or videos so I can actually see how it's meant to look with the mechanism intact ? Appreciate any info recieved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 dont know if these guys can help https://littleportboathaven.co.uk/britax sunroof.htm on the front header there should be a makers plate as both webasto and britax were used over the years pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I thought only Britax were fitted to triumph's?, as more simple/budget than Webasto. Maybe people could specify a Webasto?. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 any deviation between makers was probably more to do with the supply chain davevit may have some clues , not clear about any history might even be down to a brand name for a fabric roof .like Hoover and Biro are used pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly the Herald 12/50 was always Britax but a lot of Triumphs got sunroofs fitted at the dealer rather than the factory, and it would depend on local availability. The one in my GT6 was neither Britax nor Webasto (I think it was Jack Kent?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
