No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Use of top protectant also makes the top last longer

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Edmunds' lists the same 38.0" head room for the Cab & Coupe.
It's been a while since I drove both, it wasn't back to back, & I can't remember if the coupe had a PMR or not. I'll be checking myself, but wanted your opinions. How does the head room compare between a circa '00 cab & coupe w/o PMR?
My memory is the Cab had a greater feeling of spaciousness. I was also shocked at the quiet insulation w/ the roof up. How long do the roofs last parked inside in California? Price to replace?
At first I wanted only a coupe, but I'm not going to track it & am now leaning toward the cab.
Is a Y2K coupe w/power driver seat but no PMR practically non-existent? It occurs to me that every car made w/ power driver seat would also have a PMR. It would seem strange to spend the money on one luxury but not the other, unless special ordered by a tall person.
Thanks for your consideration.

why not sit in both coupe and cab and compare yourself? I think they are about the same height if an inch difference at all. most coupe has sunroof. i think that's what you mean by PMR right? (power moon roof??)
i'd get a 02+ if you get a cab. not only you'll get 3.6L, newer look and slightly better interior, you'll get a glass backglass as well. separation of vinyl window and top is very common for 99-01. how long the top last really depends on how well you treat it. i park my car inside and when outside for a day, i'd cover it. use of top protectant also makes the top last longer. a new aftermarket top is about 1500 and OEM is about 2x.
My investments gotta do well to get an '02! But I absolutely appreciate the advice. Better to weigh the differences pre vs. post-purchase!
Weighing a Cab vs. Coupe for purely the difference in interior space, one could also consider a coupe + the cost of removing the tunnel console, installing a smaller steering wheel &/or a seat swap as mentioned elsewhere. Greater security, performance, possibly lower insurance cost and no roof replacements.
Were NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) also upgraded effective '02? A post-'02 Cab was the nicest car I've driven, wanted to drive it home on the spot. Revving it was bliss.

after getting my 99....... if i would have to do it over. i would have gotten the 02..... like it was mention above, the facelift, 3.6l and revised interior makes up for it........
I think virtually all coupes have a sunroof. At 6'4"/215lbs, headroom was marginal on my '02 coupe. I now find that I'm more comfortable in a GT3 seat on BK lowering mounts, than I was in a full power seat. I missed the heated seat this morning, though.
I am 6'2" and fit in my 02 cab with a helmet and the top up, I would not pass a broom stick test (need to pop[ roll bars anywya) but can get in there with out restrictions.
