I've read this in the threads too.

I also am aware of how sunroofs start to leak and corrode from receiving constant sunlight for years. Not quite sure if the quality of the Camaro sunroof is or is not better than those before it.

I've heard it gets pretty dark in the cabin of the Camaro, especially with tinted windows, which I plan on getting. So I leave you all the question:

To sunroof? Or not to sunroof?

List your own pros and cons to either having the sunroof or having the reverse mohawk.

Thanks in advance for helping me make my decision!

I like the reverse mohawk.
My wife has a moon roof, and she seriously opens it about 4x a year.
I used to have a convertible Mustang CS/GT, and the top went down about 2x a year as well.

My opinion, is to spend the $, on a different add-on.

We just purchased a 2LT in Aqua Blue with the sunroof. Living in this area it will get plenty of use.
I also drive a 07 Charger with a sunroof, have not had a problem until this week, wind noise, 3 trips to the dealer. Not fixed, I'm getting ticked!!!
So I can say I love them when they work, hate it when they act up.
Good luck on choosing

Hot summer night, sunroof = pretty sweet. I added one to my order....(super tuff call; reverse mohawk is nice...hated to lose it but will use the sunrood everyday from May through September)

And the amount of light it lets in removes some of the confined feeling

Florida is not the right place for a sunroof...

it's too hot to open it..and with just the shade open it still gets too hot.

SUNROOF - YES. I use mine all the time, well, when it's not raining/snowing here up north, and that's more than just a couple times. But in the end, it's your decision. If the car had a T-Top options, I would get that, loved them in my 99 TransAm, would love them in this car too.

Sunroof...I like mine. If you like the wind or not. It let extra lite in but not too much.
At nite you can see the night sky. Or just close the inside shutter.

Sunroof and the RS package are similar price options. Our last 2 cars had sunroofs and were used once or twice during our whole period of ownership. Therefore, I opted for the RS instead because I think the halos look really cool. Also, I don't think there is any way you will be able to make roof stripes look right with a sunroof.

Sunroofs might be fun at first but then after a while the get a little boring. Also, keep in mind that its been said that the height clearance for camaros with sunroof is a bit shorter than those without it.

Smile No Sun Roof

We didn't get a sun roof because we liked the roof design without.

I don't know if anyone has spoken about it, yet. But, I don't think the striping over the top will look all of that great. I think sticking to the hood and trunk deck would be just fine on either the sunroof or Corvette style top. By the way, I'm in California and I didn't even consider not ordering the sunroof.
