I have the large sunroof on my 86 Syncro.  We absolutely love it.  When you
sit in the back it's like being in a convertible.  And in the summer, while
camping, we sleep with the roof open and have a great view of the heavens.
the people on the rear bench catch a lot of wind when driving at highway
speeds.  The sunroof seals always need replacing (over time), they get hard
and brittle in the sun but I'm sure this varies with environmental
conditions.  I am in the process of installing a used CARAT interior in my
Syncro; rear facing jumpseats, wall panel with the integrated table and the
narrower bench seat.  I will give a full report to the list when the
conversion is complete.
