Is Sunroof/moonroof delete a good thing?
The 996 I found doesn't have moonroof...IDK, but was curious if this was a good or bad thing in terms of options.
|
Here is a conversation had about it in the past. I think it depends on the person if its a + or -
|
Thanks !!!

I'd prefer a delete as I never run it open. (My 2004 has a solid panel.) A glass roof, on the other hand, would be useful to look for aerial speed aircraft.
It is a positive if you track (the assembly adds weight up high). |
I love the sunroof. Good compromise between the open air feel of a convertible and the rigidity and lighter weight of having a roof. I even looked into the glass Targa, but that's not available in a turbo. Of course, it helps to be where you can take advantage of an open roof 80-90% of the year :).

so would it be possible to switch out the solid roof for glass, or am i running into the problem of the extra track needed for the interior shade to operate independently of the glass, betcha...

I would like to delete my sunroof or better,later i will:D

Unless I'm operating mine wrong, there are no separate shade and glass part parts. It's one piece, the roof simply opens to open sky above.

I ordered my '02 Turbo with the "sunroof delete" option. Not having the sunroof adds an additional 1" or so of headroom. Additionally, I like the look of the roof without the black cutout outline of the sunroof. I have another car that is a convertible, and compared to effect of driving top down in that car the tiny sunroof on the 911 seemed like a bad tease.

I think the sunroof delete option is a + if you are into the track/racing aspect of the car. In my 01 audi s4 I removed the sunroof completely and added a carbon fiber plug by fiber images. If you don't track or race your car I think the sunroof is great as it gives the car a grand touring feel...
