sun roofs

Do they just flip open or do they open all the way? Does it disappear into the roof or pull back on the outside. Delete or keep?

Re: sun roofs

opens "into" roof, not on the outside. I don't think you can delete the sunroof with US models...

Re: sun roofs

I personally like to delete sunroofs when possible, since non-sunroof cars have additional headroom. I'm not sure that it can be deleted any longer though (rumors indicate no).

Re: sun roofs

They open all the way, but make an annoying low frequency virbation if you have the windows closed.

Re: sun roofs

Yeah....and no moon roof - which blows. If I'm forced to have a sunroof - using only the moon roof option sometimes allows more head room - and gives you a good view all year round.

Re: sun roofs

Personally I never use it. I don't like the noise and the low pressure created if you don't open the windows. Besides they're a chick thing

Re: sun roofs

Keep it. All my cars had them until I got a new SUV without it. Silly me: I Didn't think I'd miss it. Guess what? It really sucks not to have one. No kidding.

Re: sun roofs

I have to agree with most comments. Have one in my daily driver VW and hardly use it. Thought Porsche version might magically turn them into something desirable. Will order delete if possible.
