Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Does anyone know of an aftermarket sunroof for 2002 996. I am told that to fit a Porsche genuine one I have to replace the roof.....

POST 2Original post

heres a sunroof for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...QQcmdZViewItem

POST 3Original post

So are you saying you DONT have a sunroof in your car at all...and you want to install one? If so DONT....you got a car with the sunroof delete option...lots of people like those because its more rigid and looks like the GT3....Since yours is a C4, it IS a GT3 tub.....if you REALLY want a sunroof, sell your car and get another one...you dont wanna go cutting your roof....

POST 4Original post

+1, yeah leave it alone, thats a special car... here in the states anyway... I thought you wanted a replacement sunroof and I happened to run in one earlier today.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys that's what I suspected. It is a brilliant car but regrettably it is for sale so I can keep a 95 993 C2 Cabrio with genuine 29000 miles on clock. Most buyers here want a sunroof so I have been looking for options but I will just wait for the RIGHT buyer. Thanks

POST 6Original post

Definitely wait, as those guys said. I would take one without. I never use mine, sometimes tilt it up just for shiggles, but otherwise......

POST 8Original post

Don't cut the roof. Please. Please please. Sell it and get one with the sunroof if you must.

POST 9Original post

Yeah wait....there are some here, usually the track guys that want the stiffer chassis....put it for sale in your local Porsche club...they will appreciate more than the average Joe who just wants to look good and would like the sunroof as a convenience for the nice sunny days.....Good luck!

POST 10Original post

You dont have to cut anything, you replace the whole roof piece between the "ski rack" mounts.

POST 12Original post

I would kill myself if my car had a sunroof. Are you possessed or something?

POST 13Original post

Sorry must be asleep at the 'puter...just like fugly eh

POST 14Original post

POST 15Original post

Yup in the family!!! Cousin to chin nuts! Dont ask!
