Factory sunroof decals...perforated ?

I pulled the trigger on getting Waldo a birthday present of a Black Jack sunroof graphic (factory)...and then I wanted to make certain it's perforated. But I cannot seem to find any info regarding the factory decal...anyone?

Thanks!

I would think so, since I don't see the point of completely blocking the sunroof... But you can always call a dealer and double check.

Every sunroof decal I've seen has been perforated. I would think they couldn't sell them if they weren't perforated. Like wbarnhill says, it doesn't make much sense.

Mine I got from Aesthetic Creations is not perforated, but it specifically said that in the description and was on sale so I snagged it...if you ask me I love it. Works great and you can see the black and white Union Jack from the inside too. Blocks all the sun keeps the interior MUCH cooler in the summer and I can always open the sunroof all the way if I want to...or if I get tired of it...i'll remove it lol.

more to the story...

Evidently the factory makes both a perf and a non-perf...the one the dealer got in was the non-perf, so Waldo will wait until the next trip to the dealer.

On that note...can anyone post or point me towards pics from the INSIDE of their car looking up through the decal'd sunroof (both a perf and a non-perf?)

in the past the 'configurator' would not let you add a roof graphic if you had a sunroof ... I see that's no longer the case. And that there is one sunroof graphic along with the older ones.

AC offers both - one that's perf and comes in multiple pieces for s/r install and one that's for non s/r cars and I believe they were different prices....

I'll remain cautiosly optomistic that you can get the factory graphics in a perf' s/r style and am curious as to the final outcome; I really wanted one of those helo-pad symbols on my roof but didn't give up the s/r. Altho I'd also note that the dealer's job of installing my sport stripes (twice) would not encourage me to have then tackle a full roof job .... or should I say the kid they had come in to do it.
