A piece of sliding glass that needs to drop an inch before it can slide back and it's associated gear leads to a less headroom
my hair was brushing the headliner on my 01 4r with the seat all the way down on my 98 I can have the seat all the way up and still have 2 inches of clearance
Not to mention it's less hot not having a piece of glass a couple inches away from your head the sun glares through
He was just expressing how you could possibly get tired of a sunroof and his experience as a relation. His measurements may be a bit off, but it still holds truth. There will be more head clearance and less heat. I think y’all just misunderstood the message he was relaying.
Also, it’s not plaster lol it’s body filler/bondo.
If you fix the glass in place, remove the track it rides on, the cover that goes under it, than put the headliner from a non sunroof car you would gain the headroom from a non sunroof car which is what my brother is trying to do with his Jetta currently
We live in south Texas, we get enough sun, there's no need for a piece of glass on the roof
It's kind of sad that the bmws and Lincoln's with moon roofs are unbearably hot for the first 6 or so minutes of driving with the ac on max because otherwise they're good cars
I miss my 95 Tacoma it blew ice cold ac the moment you started it, got the cabin cold in 3 minutes even when °110 outside, and didn't have blend door actuators you need to remove the dash to replace glares at ford yet still had the same blend function... It used r134a so it's not like it had any advantage over a modern system
Continually glares at ford it didn't turn off the compressor when you were over a certain throttle percentage either so it actually did it's job Instead of being shut off for the extra 3hp when you went to pass someone or God forbid you tow something and expect the ac to work like normal
