DUTCH Administrator Doppelgänger Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: US, GA, Atlanta Vehicle(s): 2015 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI,2018 Sprinter Posts: 9963 | Webasto We always think of auxiliary heaters when we hear the name "Webasto"; but did you know that they make automotive sun roofs, too - among other automotive items? One of my customers here in Georgia is in the 24/7 overtime mode to anodize the rails for the Webasto sunroof plant in South Carolina. | ||

AlanMcR Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: US, CA, Los Altos Vehicle(s): G300DT E300DT 230SL Posts: 3500 | RE: Webasto Some of the W463 sunroof parts have "Webasto" moulded into them. After "popping up" the sunroof into a poorly placed roof rack bar I got a chance to inspect them closely . | ||

A lot of stuff! (And here I thought that all they made was the automotive auxiliary heaters.) | ||
