Hmmmmm, not sure which is worse, the 'worry' of having another cracked roof or the noise issue with a non pano roof
I suppose I am being spurred on by the thought of also ordering sports seats which I do not currently have.... I didn't like the look of them when I placed my order but since then they have really grown on me... and I dream of having a tilt option
Not sure whether to hang in there with my current Evoque, surely it would have to be really bad luck to have another pano roof 'disaster' and wait three years or so to see how the Evoque 'develops' with options, colours etc and then make a change
Food for thought

I've just claimed for my windscreen as there is an 8 inch crack from the passenger side A-pillar after a pretty small stone was kicked up by a lorry the other day, didn't sound much but the screen has cracked from the edge in. New screen being fitted tomorrow by Autoglass so I hope its ok.
Hope all goes well

Swiftcover - class a Pano as a single piece of glass that starts at the wipers and goes all the way over the roof in one go - thus Evoque is not a Pano but a 'large sunroof' and not covered under glass would have to be under main policy. If you wish to take the gamble, they gave me a very good price (£247)
LV - a 'modification' is anything changed after it has left the dealer. Any options that were built-in before it left the forecourt are not modifications. Pano roof IS covered under the glass section of the policy. Still a good price (£350) and the most likely I will go for.
Aviva - good price but I need to speak to them re Pano.
Only one other thing springs to mind, some insurers have a limit on the amount they will pay out for a glass claim. Admiral tried to tell me at one point that they would only pay £50 towards my claim as that was my limit for a glass pay out?!?!? As it turns out my roof was not covered by the glass section but on the main policy. Bear in mind that my repair cost over £1800.....
I really thought I had covered all the bases with my current policy, listing all my optional extras etc but next year I think I will have to spend a lot longer studying the small print for every eventuality
