Let's see, 1st thing on the list is....that's right a Fire Extinguisher and make sure I use the correct plastic straw on spray cans that do not get blown off and into the intake

Suggestion · Original poster
That's right -- I'm thinking of a glass panel that will fully replace the metal roof and a plastic trim piece to replace the interior cover.

I think he just wants to replace the metal sunroof with a glass moonroof.

It may be available at a very reasonable cost, if someone wants to use it as a test bed.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Does anyone make a glass sunroof for our cars? Trading a coupe for a targa isn't an option, but I was thinking that a tinted glass "moon roof" might be a nice addition. It would look slick and let a lot more light into the interior.
I did some searching, but couldn't find anything...
That's right -- I'm thinking of a glass panel that will fully replace the metal roof and a plastic trim piece to replace the interior cover. I'd want a direct replacement, so I could put the metal one back in if I ever wanted.
2 of my other cars have glass sunroofs and I
never
use the sunshade... So, for my needs, I wouldn't need a sunshade on the 911.
So, I'm assuming nothing like this exists. I wonder if I could make a kit...
This would drastically reduce aerodynamics!! Glass has 76% more drag and resistance than cleared paint! Are you looking to reduce power between 4-7 horses for as much money as possible?
I'd be all over one. I do not care about increased aero drag...I'm not doing any land speed racing.
I've got glass sunroof on my E46 BMW coupe and its really nice to have. Van its a great idea.. and the light and open would be a great enhancement.
yeah make the kit ...
I was seriously thinking of a windshield wiper delete which would equal out with the glass install. Just don't roll down your window and rest your hand on the mirror - then you'd be back to 4-7 horses down.
BMW use to make an optional drop-in glass moonroof for their E30 chassis BMWs back in the late 80's. For some reason steel sunroofs were really popular with European cars back then. You had to buy American or Japanese cars to get a moonroof.
Since BMW could do it, I suspect it's possible for a 996 as well. The key would be being able to mount a piece of tempered glass in the same mounting rails that the steel piece uses. Someone should make one, I'd be interested. This is the only car I have which doesn't have a glass roof. While it is heavier, I'm fine with it. Seattle isn't exactly bright and cheery in the winter.
I don't know about that, but my sunroof (roof panel and all) is about to be removed. It may be available at a very reasonable cost, if someone wants to use it as a test bed.
Yep I am pretty much done with mods like this. Now time to put some track stuff in to get ready for next year. Let's see, 1st thing on the list is....that's right a Fire Extinguisher and make sure I use the correct plastic straw on spray cans that do not get blown off and into the intake
