Sunroof ?
There is a cutaway picture of the new Camaro that appears in several threads. On that image there is what appears to be a structural piece that runs through the center of the roof from front to back.(If I could figure out how to attach that image I would. Sorry.)
My question is what happens to that structural piece when you get a Sunroof and does this change affect the structural rigidity of the car? |

A lot of other cars have added support around the sun roof to accommodate for the hole in the roof. I personally think cars shouldn't have holes in the roof, but some people like it. There may be less headroom with the sunroof too.

Supposedly there's just a tiny bit less headroom. However, Conan O' Brian fit in the car quite nicely and he's very tall. So I wouldn't worry about headroom too much with the sunroof added.

I am not a big fan of the way the sunroof looks on the Camaro........i do however have always been a fan of t-tops.....you think they will ever bring them back with this new generation ??

I seem to recall something about a t-top not being structural feasible on the 5th gen. Maybe they'll design it into the 6th gen.

The heck with sunroof or t-tops. Let's see a Corvette style one piece targa top on the 5th Gen.

Went to show in philly and sat in car with and without sunroof. I am 6ft tall and there is more headroom without sunroof. Already bad sight lines with this car dont need added hassel of head room issues.

T-tops for my 89 IROC stored in a leather pouch strapped in the trunk still leaving room for a little storage.

I'm also 6' tall. I'd say there is about an extra inch of headroom without the sunroof. But I adjusted the seat until I was comfortable regardless of the lesser headroom. (Lowered it all the way and reclined the seat a little. Which didn't bother me because I always have the seat reclined a little anyway.) Honestly, to me, it felt a lot more like my 4th Gen than I expected. And I loved the way the 4th Gen seating position was. |

Im getting worried, You guys are saying you are 6 ft tall and you are having to put the seat down all the way and recline it. Well im 6'8" and wanting a Camaro and hoping i can get one despite my tallness. Although i have a Grand Prix with a sunroof that i just barely fit in, so hopefully the Camaro with out a sunroof will have a little more room.
