For those who don't have T-Tops, are sunroofs an option? Does anyone have em?

 

A few members here have them, do a search.....

I think they are a reasonable alternative if you don't have a t-top car......I'm gonna be getting one for my car down the road.......

 

What i was thinking about doing was a sunroof/t-top idea. Where its not a power sun roof but where basically you just cut away a bunch of the sheet metal on the top of the hood. Cover the outsides of the opening with rubber for the seal. Then have it just latch down on the inside. Instead of being a real sun roof that slides forwards and back it pops off like a set of T's. I think thatd be amazing! never seen it b4 though.

 

My brother's 87 Mustang has a sunroof like that. I agree, it's a great alternative for those without t-tops.

I was working on implementing a sunroof into my RS before I lost it. I had the glass and everything.

my biggest problem with it is that the center of the roof is a fairly important element, and hacking into it _can_ make the car more flexible and weaker, depending how it's done, thats why the factory put in t-tops

 

That's true. But just as with anything else, it's not difficult if you know what you're doing.

 

thats right,, thats what i thought.....but when i but a aftermarket sunroof in my saturn a month ago, there is a simaler brace that goes from side to side in my saturn that runs front to back in the camaros. Anyhow i cut thru it anyhow and yes the roof was sooooo flimsy it seemed like it would be never safe again. But after i used the proper sureseal for sunroofs,,and set the roof with glass in there and tightened down the 30 screws that samwitched the sunroof frame in there. any how even with the sunroof glass out now i can grab that roff and it wont move at all mind you before the suroof it was very bentable and not that strong. So all in all id say the sunroof with its thicker construction and rigidty because of its oval shape and being sealed to the roof it acts just as strong as the stock roof or even stronger.

By the way i went to the upick it yard got all the hardware and glass and everything for 25bucks and put it in myself with a 10buck tube of sealant i bought from the autoglass shop. Looks brand new.

You do get a empty feeling in your stomach when you first put the drill thru your roof tho...and then to proceed to chop a gaping hole n your roof so it falls in on your seats.
