Putting a sunroof on a FC3S S4 that didn't originally come with one?
Sorry for asking a very stupid question but i really need to know,
Is it possible to buy a whole oem/aftermarket electric sunroof kit and put it on a S4 that didn't originally have a sunroof to begin with?
If possible, please to post links to the parts/guides.

Anything is possible, but in this case, the question is it worth it? IMO no you would have to cut open the roof and make sure ALL your cuts are straight or your gonna have a leaker

Seeing that a sunroof assembly weighs about as much as a small Child,I would not know why you would want to actually add weight to your car.
Besides the NON sunroof body is rare compared to the regular Hole in the top(sunroof style).
It may be a base chassis but it is sought after just because of that very feature,.Solid roof.
The sunroof chassis has bracing in the roof for the sun roof assembly/skeleton and if you saw it you would not want to go through the hassle of re-creating it.Also the roof opening is not flat.It is a lip all the way round the hole.You would be dealing with sealing that with your "idea sunroof".
Now sure you "could" do it,anything is possible with a torch and a dream,But honestly?.If I wanted a sunroofed FC?..I would have either traded the NON sunroofed chassis or bought one.
