Should I add a sunroof to my 2SS/RS IOM before it enters the assembly line? Yes or no?

List PROS and CONS, please!!!

SSOOCH · 04-17-2009, 02:54 PM

I like sunroofs. But I like the "reverse mohawk" on the roofline more. So I went with no sunroof....

01pewterz28 · 04-17-2009, 02:54 PM

I prefer the sunroof when I order mine she will have the sunroof

It's simple. All about the $$Money$$. If you have the cash yes.

I think it might lower your headroom a bit. I think someone said that so that could be an issue. If you don't use one or need it then don't worry. The solid roof is probably a stronger body.

I don't like how it lifts upwards and back rather than hide away.

But thats just me.

Vash · 04-17-2009, 03:00 PM

There is no where for it to go hide it has to lift up. Or else it would be too small or the back glass would need a change.

I think you can pull back a blind and let some sun in a bit. That is one nice thing without opening.

No Sunroof... Only T-tops and Vert for Camaro...

Vash · 04-17-2009, 03:05 PM

I wish it was that easy. I have owned all kinds. Currently my C4 vette probably the worst... if you take the targa top off the car vibrates at 50+, it's inherient to all of the generation. This is why Chevy takes it's time with the Convert to make sure it's done right and not rushed like that.

T-tops where better on 4th gen, I liked those. But again it has to work with the body and frame and be tested etc etc.

01pewterz28 · 04-17-2009, 03:11 PM

Since I don't think I can wait for a vert when I order mine it will have the sunroof. I have a sunroof on my Silverado and Suburban and use it all the time.

You are going to get all kinds of opinions on this one...!

I ordered my SS without a sun roof. To me, Sunroofs just aren't that cool or sexy on a sports car. Convertible tops? Yes. T-Tops? Yes. Sunroofs? Meh...

That being said, I am now wondering if I should have taken the sunroof anyway. I like it alot on my Murano.

As you can see I am quite the wishy-wash.

Glad I could help! Sorry if I didn't. Dayum..

The Dark Knight · 04-17-2009, 03:19 PM

I would have gotten a sunroof only if it was a plain hard top...but the "reverse" mohawk looks wicked! So...my choice was no.

Fightinfire921 · 04-17-2009, 04:58 PM

Have one and never use it. I'll save the money for gas and insurance.

Hebe4 · 04-17-2009, 04:59 PM

No sunroof....it messes up my hair.

camaro5 · 04-17-2009, 04:59 PM

Average? Yes - unless you may want to fit a helmet in there
