Sun roof worth it? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have the sunroof and use it all the time. I just wish it opened all the way to expose the entire opening. The glass top stops and there's still 1/4 of the opening that could be exposed.

I could care less about the "mohawk" roof, in fact I think the car looks better without it.

Sat in a sunroof model and my head was touching the roof. 6'3. Aloso didn't want to pay thousands when the track or motor go when its out of warranty. I work at a GM dealer and watch customers not fix the roof when it costs anywhere from $1200 - $2000 for a new assembly. Thats Canadian prices of course. Probably thousand less in the US.

I ordered the sunroof just to let light into the passenger compartment- don't have to open it. It will brighten up my IO interior. All other Camaro interiors look dull and plain to me. I also don't understand the mohawk thing- who would ever even notice it ?. Ordered: 2SS/RS Summit white, IO interior, Sunroof, 20" polished wheels, 6/11. The wait is ongoing.

Everyone who buys a Camaro with one WILL use it ... A LOT .... the FIRST summer....and possibly the next. Then you'll use it 3x/summer.... That's my experience anyway.

I also didn't like losing the mohawk roof - huge part of my decision to NOT get one.

I just drove a rental car the other day...it had a sun roof. The sun was beaming down into my eyes and I closed the lid. Glad I didn't get one in my car...

I had a sunroof on my 91 Grand Prix and loved it. Had to have that back. A lot of people complain that you lose the reverse mohawk on the camaro. Honestly can't say I miss it. I pop my sunroof open every day it's not raining, loveitloveitloveit.

Seems like a simple solution to your problem.

Off topic but related... does anyone else think the sun visors are a freakin joke? Have you tried to swing them around to the side windows? HAH!

i agree they are way too small

Had a sunroof for the past 4 years. Used it a lot, but I don't miss not having it now.

Lucky SOB · 07-13-2009, 12:00 PM

I use mine all the time. The roof dish wasn't a big deal to me. I like being able to open it up.

Speedfreak · 07-13-2009, 01:08 PM

I hate that it is a spoiler type but i would probalby have to get it.........i bought a 98Z hardtop a while back and i felt like i was in a crypt compared to my 30th with glass t-tops

Does the sunroof affect the overall ceiling height? Also, is there no moonroof included? Don't know much about this package, figured this was the place to ask
