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.
