Had 370Z Sunroof Installed
 

Had a Webasto 321L sunroof installed yesterday at Auto FX in Tacoma, WA and have attached some photos. Please no posts about whether a sunroof belongs in the 370Z - it is a matter of personal preference and really doesn't have an answer. However, if Porsche offers sunroof options on their $100,000 Carrera I think it is fine for the 370Z.

To answer some anticipated questions.
1) I watched them remove the section of roof and their are no structural components in the section they take out. There is a small aluminum roof stiffener that is no longer needed with the sunroof.

2) You are adding about a total of 20-25 lbs when the job is completed. It will be less if you go with the medium 321. Frankly, I was surprised that the larger sunroof fit but I think it looks great.

3) Webasto manufactures 50% of the worlds factory sunroofs so they seem to know what they are doing.

4) With the sunroof closed, the car is just as quiet as it was before. In fact,
when the shade is pulled you just forget that it is there. Have experineced no rattles at all.

5) Controls are great. You can preset two positions (and has other buttons to open it as little as you want) - I have them set for vent and full open and when you turn off the ignition the roof automatically closes.

6) The rollo shade works fine and is the same color as the interior.

Looks awesome dude!

Humm, very nice...

Nice!
 

Wow nice job. How much?

clean install............. nice

I'm not sure how I feel about this. As long as you like it. :ugh:

$995.00. I did alot of research, all of the dealers were charging this much with some asking for $1200.00.

Also, while I was there they had a 370Z from the local dealer testing a new type of stone guard. It is sprayed on and looks incredible - you can't tell that it's on and it is supposed to be better than what's on the market now. Still expensive.

Awesome! Can we get more full-body shots of the car with the sunroof open/closed/popped up? A sunroof is the one thing I miss most from my Tibby V6 and I'd love to have one on my Z someday. My only problem is I like the roof lines that come back from the hood. Gragh. It would have been easier to decide with my 350Z since the roof on that is flat with no lines :P

Every now and then I wish I had a sun roof. Nice!

slick...kinda wish Nissan would have made it an option. I always wanted one on my WRX and when it was first released they didnt have them. Then a few years later...Vualaaa

I agree
 

^ +1 I agree
:twocents:

Very nice! Where are the controls mounted?

The only thing I wish is that it kept the lines of the crease in the roof, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Hopefully Nissan takes note of this!

Looks clean...nice.

That'd be slick if the controls are mounted between the seat heaters...

Also, don't the lines for the air bags go through the center of the roof area? What'd they do with that stuff?!

Very nice! Have a sunroof in my daily driver and really like it, good to know it's an option for the Z as well.
