240 guys/girls. Sunroofs or Nay? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

IdriveBad · 05-25-2008, 10:20 AM

Was just curious to everyones opinions on them. My hatch didn't have one, my cousins hatch had the pop up one. I'm trying to find a coupe with a power one, but it's getting a bit difficult. I prefer them, but I see a lot of nice ones without them. Is it worth trying to get one installed? Like buying a stock one to put in. Obviously not doing it myself, I know it's not just cutting a square and drop it in.

only power sunroofs were avalible on 95-98 240's

Adam496 · 05-25-2008, 10:38 AM

Don't get one installed. You are asking for a leaky roof.

Nope, they were offered in the s13. Got one sitting in the driveway

twastheglow · 05-25-2008, 10:40 AM

^ Beat me to it. I also have an S13 coupe with a power one right outside my window. They were offerened on the 240sx SE's.

dude i think sunroof installations are MAD expensive

nissan240syan · 05-25-2008, 11:04 AM

dont do it !!! my zenki had one and it made retarded sounds and stuck down too low

omgjacki · 05-25-2008, 12:06 PM

Power sunroof ftw. And yeah, s13s have them...

yellow2000S/R · 05-25-2008, 12:08 PM

Adding weight FTL.

Spoilerless, rear wiperless, no sunroof and MTX... FTW! Also shaved the antenna.

Not going to the extreme of removing the interior tho. I have to buy panels to replace what was removed before I bought the car.

IdriveBad · 05-25-2008, 12:25 PM

I don't think I would cough up the money to have it done, I was just curious to everyones opinions. I'd really like to find one with a power sunroof, the idiot I was dealing with had one but the new one I just found doesn't.

omgjacki · 05-25-2008, 12:27 PM

No, if you can find one WITH a sunroof that's awesome. Don't waste your money to have it done though. I've heard nothing but bad things.

yellow2000S/R · 05-25-2008, 12:30 PM

It depends on how its done.

If you section an entire roof on properly from the pillars... it will be fine.

Too many just try cutting a hole and making a rolled edge and installing an aftermarket sunroof, thats when you have problems. Some cars also have added reinforcements on their roofs (not sure bout 240s, but I wouldnt doubt it) to provide additional strenth and minimize any distortion.

240sxDann · 05-25-2008, 12:44 PM

sunroof ftl. Only my s13 coupe had one, it was the pop up kind, and I didn't like it. I never drove the car, and I didn't like it lol

420sx · 05-25-2008, 12:50 PM

Its more impressive to have a full weight car that can rape ****.

Im keeping my interior, sunroof, subwoofer, and both amps. Just means I have to make that much more power.

jh95zenki · 05-25-2008, 01:02 PM

I have a power sunroof on my zenki and I love it
I'm always using it

IdriveBad · 05-25-2008, 01:19 PM

My civic has a pop up, and I wish I had a power. It's not that bad, I just prefer power options.

TurboTagTeam · 05-25-2008, 01:46 PM

My s13 has a power one. I dont really like it. I'll probably use it but I still dont like it.

frosti108 · 05-25-2008, 10:55 PM

manual > power

manual is lighter and will last forever. power is heavier and breaks (and is usually a bitch to fix)

although my s12 has power windows which are kinda nice, but i would still swap them to manual if i had a chance. it has a manual sunroof though which is great. just put your hand up and open. i see no reason for power in one of those. but, might actually be cool for the summer time to hook to a remote so you can open it to keep the dash from cracking, and to close it if its about to rain and so on...

180sxDrifter · 05-25-2008, 10:57 PM

I liked the ones I've had on my hatch's where I can completely take them out, only thing I didn't like about the power one I had in my coupe was less headroom.

frosti108 · 05-25-2008, 11:11 PM

the guy i bought my 200sx from told me i can take the sunroof totally out. i havent even tried it yet though. now im excited to try it LOL
