Default Sunroof installer/repairer

Does anyone know a good sunroof installer/repairer in Geelong or Sw Melbourne/Werribee. The cover on my has slipped off its rails and I can't bring it forward, it just gets stuck. I've checked the Yellow Pages and can't find anyone who does sunroofs down here in G town.

Is it Pole Position?

I went to the place you're talking about a couple of years ago, and unless it was a certain make of sunroof, they wouldn't touch mine? They're about the only place in Geelong I know of.

I know its outside your area of interest but I can highly recommend a place called Custom Sunroofs. They're out near Highpoint. Here's their details...

Good Luck, not many repairers panel beaters or windsceen fitters will be interested, last time I was looking for a customer it was begrudinly done by our windscreen repairer who explained that sun roofs are a pain to deal with because 80% will never fix properly and leak, it then becomes thier thing to have to waarant to you which is why they are avoided like the plague.

Thats why I want to take it to someone who specialises in sunroofs. It should be an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing, as i'm sure its just that the sun shade has come out of its rails. The mob Brute6 mentioned seem good, just a bit far out, so if I can't find somewhere closer i'll take it to them.

This mob did some (minor fitting) work on my GT sunroof (warranty), very happy with the result.
