Re: 16V Sunroof, is it factory?

[Mike VanAmburgh <vwvr6r@fiber.net>]

It's glass?  That's weird.  I'd have to say it's not factory.  All the
factory Scirocco sunroofs (sunrooves?  hehe) I've seen are metal and
same color as the rest of the car.  

I do think it's cool that your was 87 Scirocco was manufactured in 
'June of 1997' tho.  ;-)
