i also wanted to add - i think VW actually planned for this, as if you look
in a sunroof vanagon, the sunroof crank handle is offset - not directly
centered in the headliner.  it is more towards the drivers side.   so when
the overhead a/c unit is installed, the center tunnel does not cover the
sunroof crank handle..
of course you bang your knuckles on the center tunnel, but the crank works :<)
