Thanks for all the replies guys. One thing I did forget to mention is that I'm about 6-3in tall.

I guess its just a case of getting in the car and swinging my boof head about and seeing it it collects the sunroof really.

Cheers

Get a sunroof for sure!

As stated before it lowers the height of the interior roof lining - my hair touches the roof (dependig on how long it is at the time!) but I couldn't live without it.

As for the statement that it weakens the rook strucutre - I'm sure I was reading somewhere that the roof is actually stronger when fitted with a sunny?!?

I've recently ordered my new BF II XR6 Turbo and this time I ticked the sunroof option ... I had one about 10 years ago on a Mazda 626 Turbo Hatch and loved it. Wanted one on my current Turbo but the wife was worried about it messing up her hair ... so this time I've bought her a scarf!

cheers,

Scott

never had one, got one now and love it, its a factory one too... they come with a second slide thingo that you can slide forrward and looks like you don't have one from the inside., they slide both up and back and I use it every day.

Do you get sunburnt? LOL

Doesn't it have a pull over cover? The Celica I drive does. Great feature because sometimes sun is in a bad position or at night.

I wouldn't buiy one WITHOUT a sunroof if I can help it.

Love it.  Use it every day that is not raining. :crybaby:

Living in the Alice I use it rain or not! In fact I was sitting in the Maccas drive thru for ages last night, rain came across, so I just closed it to the tilt position. Nothing nicer than lookin out through to the clouds.

It really adds a depth to the car and makes it feel a bit bigger. I would never go back. love it, use it every day, and unlike the poor fools in their non ford cars, our sunroofs auto close, so no spiders gonna get in during the night!

One draw back though: At higher speeds it does add a small amount of wind noise, regardless of open, closed. the Internal slide eliminates this mostly though!

trust me: DO IT! :blush:
