    You're forgetting to question that aero spoiler/snow shelf lolol.

    I just picked up Piddles from having a sunroof installed. The specific model was a Webasto 321L.

    I'll mull it about for the next few days and post a detailed review with photos, as it seems very few people have done this.

    For now my feelings are "meh."

    Like I said, though, I'll think about it for a few days here. I'm self-aware enough to know that I'm now of a certain age s.t. my gut reaction to things that are new/different is generally negative at first.

    You are very brave! I would be super anxious about leaks with an aftermarket sunroof. Keep us updated!

    I like the thought of a sunroof on a Mirage, but I must also admit that I have never owned a vehicle with one.

    Obviously, no one wants leak. I get that.

    I would like your take on increase air flow in the car? I like driving without A/C & the rear windows opened a bit during the summer to increase air flow. Do you sense a difference in air flow with just the sunroof open?

    Second question - Does the sunroof create much extra wind noise when opened?

    I have a sunroof on my Lexus LS. If I could UNsunroof it, I would. It has 0 problems. But likely it is because it parks indoors. All sunroofs leak. EVERY SINGLE ONE. However, they have catch pans and drains down the pillars to deal with it. It is such an unused item for me, I'd rather not deal with the problems of a sunroof.

    On a side note. My Corolla, it had a sunroof. Near the end of its life, it started having a leak. Soaking the headliner, and running down and getting the floor wet, especially the rear where the rear passenger feet go. It was about that time that I let the wife have it. She whined and whined about getting dripped on after it rained. She kept bugging me to get it fixed. I told her to just swim and hush up. A year or so later, she led the car to a tragic premature end to it's life after only 280k miles or so. She got T-Boned. Sure am glad I didn't spend money fixing a water leak. That would have been money pissed away. However, I want to say that later, when I was investigating it, I don't believe it was a leak via the sunroof after all. I think the front windshield had developed a leak in the urethane seal, and water was ingressing there and working its way rearward and down. Oh well. Money well not spent.

    Post some pictures if you can, my guy. I had no idea about what options would fit/were available going into this, so I just had to trust the installer. Ended up with a spoiler-style sunroof. Would really have loved to have had a bit more information going into things.

    I had one option to choose from myself. I'm happy with it.

    Sunroof! Looking forward to the details.

    I'm a fan. I used to specifically buy one car over another because it had a sunroof.
