Just got back from the Algarve, Portugal, having seen a hand full of scoobs sporting what looked like f/f sunroofs? I was never offered this extra on my00 dutch import. Anyone know any details about them?

Yes you can get them with steel factory fitted sunroofs. A little known fact by the dealers.They usually encourage you to fit an aftermarket glass tilt and slide one which doesnt take up as much headroom.

My previous MY98 had the sun roof fitted at the dealers I believe, give one a call for a price.

I was told by a Subaru dealer that all Scoobys come from the factory without a sunroof. The dealers then arrange for a firm to fit them at the customers request for around £1000 before delivery.

I believe AlexF is right, as when I ordered mine from Holland I requested A/C and an electric glass tilt and slide sunroof.

The dealer fits the sunroof once they recieve the car.

Paid £1500 for the extras (£600 sunroof £900 A/C), a lot cheaper than UK

I've got the steel tilt / slide sunroof in my UK MY00 Turbo. Definitely factory fitted. If you want a glass one, they have to be dealer fitted.

As I said before, they can come from Japan with a steel sunroof factory fitted definitely. My ordered UK99MY came with one but it didnt have enough headroom (IM 6 foot 2 inches) for me, so I bought the RB5 instead.
If the dealer fits it you get a glass one.

When I ordered my 2000 MY turbo from Subaru Vilvoorde in belgium they said that I could have any option available in the UK except a sunroof. Don't know why though, but wouldn't want one anyway.

All I know is that the order to IM for my scoob had the sunroof specified, and it had the sunroof when it left Japan. The dealer offered me a non-sunroof one for earlier delivery, but I decided to wait (a strange thing for the dealer to do if they are all dealer fit in this country). The mystery deepens...
