I’d be pretty confident to say the fixed glass roof is bonded on (like a windscreen) as it’s likely to also form part of the structural rigidity and so no need for drains or potential associated corrosion issues started to be reported with the opening panoramic roofs Jonathan

Thank you Jonathan, exactly what I was hoping to hear. I will most likely limit my search for a fixed sun roof / no sun roof 405 then. |

I’ve owned L405’s with all three roofs, in my view, the fixed panoramic roof is perhaps the sweet spot, as I very rarely, if ever, opened the sliding roof. Obviously others will have different views on this though Jonathan

I'm with you, AFAIC it's a total waste of money, if I wanted a convertible I'd buy one, can't understand why the UK market always have them fitted when the rest of the EU don't....

The risk of buying a secondhand car with potential hidden issues due to sliding roof drains is not worth it for me. Even if it is an easy fix. Best to stay clear and chose a car without. There are still plenty of other potential issues left …. 😞 |
