Taking another look at your WONDERFUL sunroof pics and pondering over the notion, I quickly came to realize that for one simple reason, it would not be an option for lil' me.
Tan lines. My tan lines would be a mess if I cruzed along the beach with a sunroof as opposed to a drop top. Being silly while enjoying your great mod. :p |
Noone give me any grief about cutting a Nismo, but I'm talking to an installer in my area now to get the same thing done, I'm the same color too. Can't wait :)

not for me either but it looks sweet! makes me miss my g35 coupe sunroof.

i like the sunroof but the Z wasnt mean to have one. theres a reason it wasnt an option. this car was put in a wind tunnel the shaved and then tested again. if you look the roof lines follow the hoods. but hey atleast you can see the sky while your not racing your car.

thanks for posting it up man! Don't mind what others saying it look like crap. I personally think it's kinda sad how Nissan didn't give that as an option. I rarely use the sunroof, but every car I've own had one, and it's nice to know it's there. It does look very clean! Good job. I do notice that car originally had 2 contours that runs along the room, I didn't think that blended with the sunroof very well, but then again, i think it's the best anyone could have done with the fact that this car doesn't come with a sunroof. Good job!

THANK YOU! My lease on my 08 G35S sedan is up and i was originally going to go new Z Roadster. But just couldn't see myself longer term with a drop top. So then I was back and forth between Z coupe and G37S. Wanted the Z for the smaller size...but no sunroof.
Two dealers said different things...yes and no. Now i know yes and have seen it installed so will definately be going with the Z. So...thanks!!! |

looks good. i like it. clean install too

I think the Z with a targa top like the Mighty Supra would be sick. That would be a scary feat though. Dont think I could go through with it unless someone made a good kit, and many people installed with no probs. But I but only know with out even seeing it that targa would be straight re-diculous! Photo-Chop anyone!?!
|
I had a sunroof in my tC and never used it in 3 years. I like that full hard top of the Z.
But, honestly, it looks like a great install. I just prefer the Z without it. :tup: |
I think the Z is not made for sunroof. Nissan should come back with the TT tops on the Z.

Have been asked to update my opinion of the sunroof after about 8 months of use. Still love it and have had absolutely no problems - no leaks (and we had a lot of rain this winter in WA State) and no mechanical problems. Would do it again without hesitation.
Webesto makes many of the oem sunroofs so I expect it to function properly and it does have a lifetime warranty. |
it looks super clean. If sunroof was an option from factory im sure many would get it

my brother had this same type installed on his car. The bad news after a year it leaked. The cloth sunshade is deteriorating and the controls are shorting out. It looks good though.

I always like having a sunroof. Liked how the 300zx had a T-top. Your custom sunroof looks good and it's good that it doesn't interfere with the rear hatch. So what happened to the double bumps on the roof? Was that section cut out or did they have to "hammer" things flat to make the sunroof sit flush?
A quality sunroof install can beleakfree and operate as good as an OEM one. I had a Hollandia roof installed on my 1997 Pathfinder XE and it worked perfectly. |
T-tops would look amazing, maybe the next generation 400Z will have it
|
The one thing that worried the installers a little were the indentations on the roof. Most
of indentations are removed (by the way, the part of the roof they remove has no support beams running throught it). The sunroof gets installed very tight and flattens them out at the edge of sunroof. They still look fine in front and in back of the roof. |
This looks like a pretty old thread, but from what I can see, only ONE of you has installed a sunroof in your Z?
Has anybody else installed one, and what luck have you had? I'm looking to get one installed. --------- 2010 370z Tour/Sport; 6MT; Black Cherry/Grey; Tinted: 50/35; |

yah, one less glass to wipe down after a drive. i dont want extra weight at the top of the car.
|
Nawww I would have just gotten a roadster.

Sunroof 2 cents
Very nice sunroof execution. Would love to do that to mine, but I don't have the heart to cut into her roof. If nissan made that a factory option, I'd jump in it.
|
Wonder what it would look like if the Z had a targa top like the supra?!?!?!
|
I just bought a 370Z a couple of weeks ago. MUST have a sunroof! Are you still happy with yours? No leaks or rattles?
|
Oh yes yes

Please let us know what you find. I tried a couple of places around here and they all advised against it. i.e. - if it leaks - don't call me :thumbsdown: As far as I know, jpit is the only person bold enough to install one. |
Absolutely no problems with the sunroof. No leaks, no rattles and functions as well as the first day I got it.

They did not offer a split sun roof, for the his and hers function. Reminds me of the 1970's type sunroofs. My sunroof on the 78 280z eventually started leaking. I think I lost 5hp on the drag it created.
