Had 370Z Sunroof Installed

JB-370z · 11-12-2009, 05:06 PM

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.

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

I would trade in my Z right now for another if nissan brought back T TOPS.

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

jpit · 04-03-2010, 02:58 PM

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.

Nawww I would have just gotten a roadster.

zippin · 08-10-2010, 09:05 AM

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.
