Okay, I've got in contact with a guy from Tulla, going to see him hopefully Friday. He sounded optimistic over the phone... so here's hoping, but I would much prefer to only go to Chadstone. I would really appreciate the name of the business there if possible.
Thanks

Ive spoken to the place at Chaddy and it sounds like the better option. The guy said he has worked on them before and that these are common issues with it - he even said he should have spare parts for it, (thats not something you hear everyday regarding an FTO lol!).
Fingers crossed and I'll let you know my outcome.

Weeelll... saw the guy at Chaddy today and one of the rails are broken. The guy said he had done 'research' on the FTO in anticipation of my visit and he reckons its a special one-off sunroof only fitted in FTO's! So, since my visit he has been calling around looking for a rail but with no luck - looks like it would need to be imported. But then he said it may only cost around $300-$400 to fit a whole new sunroof anyway....
So, to be continued.....

If you're still trying to find a repairer I'd reccomend PRESTIGE SUNROOFS. I don't know their phone number, but their address is 15? HARKER ST BURWOOD
