Default Sunroof - ahhh

So.. I've had my 944 for about 18 months now, but never bothered to take off the sunroof. Sure, I tilted it up from time to time (but not that often).

Well, today I tried removing it.. and it worked! I was suprised just how heavy that panel is.. anyone have a weight available?

Really enjoyed the open lid. My kids will really love sitting in the back with the sun shining down on them.

Good times!

I take mine out every opportunity I get. It gets to be a little annoying, but it's definitely worth it
