Removeable Sunroof

I have one in my 95 that came with the car. It doesn't leak and in the summer I take it out. I found one in a metro in the junkyard and am thinking about putting it in my 98. It's the same brand as the one in the 95. I would rather have a vert but for now this would work. What do you guys think? Do you like them? I could see where you might loose some mpg due to wind catching it.

I did the roof scoop for my little dog, the '91 is a fairly hot car in the Summer. I would have gone with one of the 17"x17" sun roofs but could not find just one. My vent opens front and rear.

It's a personal opinion but I like them the extra air for extra cooling. What car is not, in even a small way, it's owners personal expression. If you like the look and function of the Sunroof in the '95 then go for it. B-)

I don't like those pop-up sunroofs...

Years ago (about 36 or so), I found, on a used car lot, a 1967 Triumph GT-6 for $1k.

Looked just like this except had a pop-up sunroof. Everything was really nice on this car until I sat in the driver's seat. Leaned back slightly and smacked the back of my head on the aftermarket pop-up sunroof catch. Had visions of poking a hole in my skull every time I went over a dip, heaven forbid I should get rear-ended!

what I want is one of those HUGE ONES that go all the way to the back IE almost the entire roof.

where might someone find something like that? (would also net me a tiny but more head room :-)

Headroom? You need a skylight, nerys. :thumb

And may I suggest a nice stylish tinted skylight or...

Went to the JY Thursday and scored. I got this sunroof with removable velcro shade. If my son had not pulled the trunk release I would have not found the shade. I also got 2 like new hatch struts and a bag full of push/pull trim clips and a new 4 rib crank pulley and some other misc. all for $20.Posted Image

"Chicks dig me and guys think I'm cool."

I picked up a 91 beater Metro with a bad frame, but it has A/C and a popup sunroof. It's taken me the better part of 5 months, but the frame is fixed, and on my test drives the sunroof is a pleasant surprise in increased airflow. When you have the rear vents open, plus the sunroof, it keeps things much cooler.

Those are my favorite types of sun/moon roofs, of all the ones I used to install, those were least likely to leak and had the smallest lever impact. I have one in my basement I've been saving for the proper vehicle to install into, it may well go into my Metro :) (but that will be a summer install, after all the bs with the 2 houses is done).
