Fantastic option - good make used by BMW and Merc - Holland firm can't remember their name but good qty.My T is a MK1 2004 - havn't had an issue with the roof yet!Snail←Hollandia/Webasto? That's what most people have fitted and is also what Ford use as a factory roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiboart Member 665 Member For: 20y 6d Posted 01/07/06 02:12 AM Share Posted 01/07/06 02:12 AM (edited) There is a lot to like about them.Against, they add considerable weight to the car at its highest point. They add flex to the chassis (generally) and they take up internal head room. If I recall correctly BMW made a huge fuss about the fact that they saved 6kg from the roof of the M6 by going to carbon sections - no data forthcoming from BMW however about the weight penalty of a sunroof - which they also like to fit.A modern fully featured sunroof together with its reinforcements, tracks, motors, wires, shades, glass, blinds, windshields and drainage must add some 20kg to the roof of the car, though I stand to be corrected on this. Some people are sensitive to the weight of the fuel load in their car whilst to others it is just not that important. A sunroof is the weight equivalent of a bag of pool salt located above your head in the car... Some options are simply about bang for buck, you trade off your money for the item - or not. The decision to have a sunroof however involves more than that, it involves a design compromise. If you want the crispest fastest chassis, then no roof, if you want the comfort, the experience and the aesthetics then get the roof. Regards,aa←My sunroof managed an 11.8 pass I love my sunroof and I will have another if I buy again.When I cruise during the day I have my sunroof tilted up and my parkers on.Its kind of a Expensive Daewoo thing ive seen around but I like the look but then again im a TRANNY←Sunroofs are a good thing, and, they come at a performace cost. 11.8 is impressive; there was however a performance cost in having a sunroof down the 400.You should find the discussion here interesting, see third paragraph.car_design_forumregards,aa Edited 01/07/06 02:17 AM by aiboart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never driving, just when parked waiting for someone and thought I would play with the buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation.Had a two way sunroof in my EL XR8, loved used it more in cool times than hot. Nothing like driving at three in the morning with the sunroof open and the heater on your feet.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
