Default No Sunroof Option

What was the deal????...could you order a Carrera w/o a sunroof from 86-89 or did you only get that option w/a Club Sport?

Default Optional

Per my window sticker it was an option in 87 which I believe holds true for the other mid to late 80's cars as well.

First new Porsche I sold in 1988 was a 88 Carrera coupe, Grand Prix White with Burgundy interior with sunroof delete option.

My '85 has no sunroof.
It was hard as hell to find a car with no leak-hole.

My '81 SC PCA Club Race car was ordered new without sunroof. Whether or not it was a "delete" option then I do not know... I can safely say that of the large number of SC/Carrera coupes that my shop maintained, only a few had no sunroof, but, although this might have been typical in Los Angeles, it might not have been in other areas.

Sunroof delete was a no-cost option through the 996 model run (2004). It became a mandatory option with the 997 (only GT3 RS and GT2 models come without)

One of the things I like about the Cayman is that it comes without sunroof...

Sunroof delete is preferable. Particularly if the car may be headed for the track, where it should be, at least occassionally. The deletes are moving to a premium in the secondary market.

My USA version of the 911S was available with a sunroof but I couldn't afford it,--so someone today gets to drive a 77 S without a sunroof! (9117201923--cockney brown)
