Post How small does a Coupe sunroof need to be?
I'm toying with the idea of a sunroof, so I can get a bit more air flow through the car on the sunny days.

What are the maximum dimensions that the sunroof can be? I've spotted one that is 750 x 460 overall dimensions.

Would this fit, I've had a measure and seems to be within a fairly flat piece of the roof, but I'm not sure.

:? :?

How about a full Targa????

Otherwise, Pontiac Fiero sunroofs are huge - or try looking at one of the electric ones from a Honda Prelude or newer del sol CRX - that retract outwards?

Play it right and you could get one with a lift out panel, then fix a "bag" to the underside of the bonnet for storage.

Either way, you will be affecting your rollover protection - what little there is.

:shock:

What rollover protection? :lol:

I've spotted one that has got tilt and slide which I think is ideal, but I'm not sure of what the maximum size that will fit on the flat of the roof. The last thing I want is a leaking roof, or I'd have to start drilling holes in the floor to let the water out. :roll: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I used a Mitsibishi Lancer 89 - 92 one it is almost identical to the original one just slightly squarer through the corners. Very easy fit. I can give you the dimensions if you need them as it is only sitting in place and not fully screwed up.
