So I didn't get the sunroof option and now I'm starting to regret it cause it's getting nice and sunny around here. Anyways, how big of a deal is it to put a sunroof in? Does it weak the structure of the roof of the car?

The roof is completely different ...

wavrun2000 · 04-19-2010, 07:40 PM

Yeah and it would be hard to even have an aftermarket one in because of the two "humps" on the roof.

Maybe you should have waited for the Convertible?

the roof is completely different? Oh shit, wait till my wife hears this. :(

If you're going to cut up your roof, you might as well get t-tops!!

Install aftermarket sunroof and take pics of puddles inside car

khabboub · 04-19-2010, 09:21 PM

putting in a sunroof on a non-sunroof car is a terrible idea. as everyone said, different roofs, and just cutting a hole in the roof will unbalance the car. the non-sunroof camaro has a support beam running right down the center of the roof.

I have added after market sunroofs and never had an issue. Just go to a quality shop not one in someones garage. But, if the roof is different, I would hesitate
