Sunroof

[ak_stylez]

Hey,

Thinkin about gettin a sunroof installed in my r33.

I particularly like the ones that open under the roof like the factory nissan sunroof. had a bit of a search on the net and found this.

what do you guys think? worth getting an aftermarket sunroof? are they generally better/worse than factory? It'd be brand new as opposed to ~10 years old from factory so I guess thats a plus for aftermarket.

I heard they go for around $2k? I'm still a long way off from that so it'd take quite a bit of saving.

Thanks

nobody has any experience with aftermarket sunroofs?

They do wonders for your structural strength

Personally I'd just buy one with a sunroof already in it, but that's just me, I don't like the idea of cutting up the car like that, hence why I waited till I found what I wanted in a car including the sunroof

so true.

because the r34 was my 1st car there were so many things i should have noticed but didnt. the sunroof being one of them.

im defiently getting a sunroof in the next car. or i just might get one installed into this one

Im thinking of getting one in my r33 and worried about the structural strength, so has any one got a pic of the diffrent in roof design inside the car?

those hollandia sunroof's are good. but 2k is overpricing. i got quoted about 1200 fully installed. with summer here i am definitly thinkin about it.

[cruzin33]

1200 is pretty good, is that electric

[cheez]

yeh electric sunroof, tilt and slide back.

[subie]

I regret not buying car with sunroof

reading some sites which install sunroof's:

http://www.webasto.com.au/am/en/am_auto_sunroofs_3360.html

Are sunroofs installed after purchase the same quality as factory installed sunroofs?

Yes, if not better . Certified installers are meticulous about quality and finish. See your local Webasto certified sunroof professional.

Are sunroofs safe?

Yes, the surface area of the sunroof to the roof skin has more coverage than normal roof braces.

here's a cheaper alternative and won't effect the structural integrity of your car

Ive got a sunroof in my r33 i love it especially winter have the heater on and the sunroof open dont get too hot and it great in summer. the only down side is after a while they start to leak and that suxs I hate when that happens cost me 250 for another seal

I'm yet to hear of a decent aftermarket sunroof install...

they all leak as far as I've heard... but please prove me wrong, it will come down to the installer and the hardware, curviture of the roof and size of the actual sunroof...

[NA_Goodness]

Most cars with sun roofs as options come from the factory without one, then when you order it the manufacturer sends it away and gets it installed. Someone does it for them, but I cant remember who it is. The best in the Country. The job is as good as OEM, because it is pretty much!!

[cruzin33]

Im scard about leaking and rust in the future

[75coupe]

so would I be... as I said before I'm yet to see one done right without the manufacturer being involved... but I am a picky bastard
