Shouldn't be a problem whatever you get. The part numbers only differ based on build date (VIN number) and not on body style. The later part number superceded the earlier one and applies to all cars so they should be interchangeable.

If you want to be absolutely certain then get a sunroof from a car in the same VIN range as yours (see below).

Sunroof Assembly- up to (Vin) AD137881 (part number EED100920LPY
Sunroof assembly-electric operating glass - Clear Grey)

Sunroof Assembly-From AD137882 To AD250028 (part number EED101180LPY Sunroof assembly-electric operating glass - Clear Grey)
