I ordered mine with the sunroof. Don't have my car yet, so i really can't comment on like or dislike.

I say no. But really up to you.
No because it could break later down the road.True it can be fixed. And I dont want
something out on top of the roof. Sticking out.
Now if it was hidden inside then maybe I would get 1.

No especially if your going to keep the car for a period of time it will leak and it will be a pain even though it lets light in really what about the heat. Especially on leather seats that sun just tears that leather up after a while

At first I didn't like how it opened above the roof, but after sitting in one with a sunroof, I love it. It's a pretty big sunroof, so I kinda got the feel of a convertible. It will be great for those summer days when you want some extra air and light, and don't want to feel like a claustrophobe. Besides, you can always keep it closed if you don't like the way it looks when open and still get that extra light inside. Reverse mohawk is overrated imo. Who is going to be paying any attention to 3 little lines on the top of your car's roof lol?

Southpaw · 06-23-2009, 12:21 PM

I do not like the sun roof, as the orig camaro did not have one, just how I feel

PQ · 06-23-2009, 12:32 PM

Never liked sunroofs anyway. This one takes some of the cars character away in my opinion.

. Leaning towards no, but wanted some feedback please

Much appreciated!!

I live in N Texas... last two cars have had them. Wouldn't even THINK about ordering a Camaro without one... I LOVE them!! Also, in the Camaro... it helps with the Claustiphobic feeling I get when sitting in them.

I agree totally!!!

Have a question about the sunroofs to those that have them.... I know the glass opens to the outside...which isn't my preference, but understand why it is that way... but do they have a way to cover up the glass from the inside?

You know, in case the sun's just too intense & you want to close it up to keep the light out?

I've sat in two Camaro's with the sunroof... but forgot to check if there's a "cover" (for lack of the right word to use here???) My current car has a thingy that's got material matching the headliner & you just slide it closed if you don't want to see outside or let the light in. Hope I didn't just sound stupid.

Vash · 06-23-2009, 02:00 PM

There is not enoug room to slide it into the roof that's why it pops out. Only time will tell about leaks. Yes most runroofs do leak but this does have a lot of Holden blood so let's wait and see.

Camaro2010ss · 06-23-2009, 02:01 PM

I won't be getting the sun roof for my Camaro, think it looks better without it.

2 people that I know personally had their car's done after market, both leaked within the first year.

DDustiNN · 06-23-2009, 02:07 PM

Pro: You get a sunroof.

Con: It's pretty ugly when it's open. And you don't get the sweet-looking reverse mohawk roof. And it's $900.
