Same here - I just never open them mainly through fear of having to drive home in the rain when they get stuck open
there is always the manual winder in the headliner on the 964!!
Funny I rejected two cars when I was hunting for mine because of not having a sunroof

off a slight tangent, was surprised how cheap a new roof is

No roof on mine, seems like I found a kindred soul because it's my favorite thing about the car. I hate the look of the sunroof felt messing up a gorgeous roof line!

Cheers guys, I dont find lhd to be any issue driving in the Uk in fact I hardly even notice it.
Job # 1: Remove window to retrieve keys that I locked in the car....
I've also pulled all the lights and stuff to I can give them a clean etc. The rear lights are in decent condition and I'd like to keep them that way if possible. Has anyone added any extra silicone sealant round the glued edges to stop grott and water getting behind the lens? Also I was thinking of putting some clear UV proof film onto them to reduce the effects of the sun, every little helps

I recently bought a pair of new rear lights and centre reflector. The plastic joints looked ok but I was surprised to find lots of fine holes (blowing low pressure air throught the vent tube whilst spraying outside with soapy water). I then spent the next 2 evenings very carefully sealing all the necessary places with a low viscous clear epoxy resin. All three are now completely air tight
Not sure I'd use silicon - its never good in the long term and won't permeate very well.

Had to turn it round in the garage so snapped a few pics while it was outside:
Busy sorting a few bits hence the missing lights etc. Hopefully get the MOT nailed this weekend then I can get it registered and used

Finally managed to sort out the last few electrical issues on the car and get it down for an MOT:
It Passed! Whoohooo!
Got a few more bits to sort but now that I have an MOT I can get it registered and used a bit then I can crack on with the TT engine install

Looking good. How did you go on separating the h/lamps to give them a clean as I notice you have the vacuum level adjusters like mine? Can you get the lens off etc without upsetting the beam pattern screws etc?

I need to fit new lenses as the ones on it at the moment are lhd (hence the tape fitted by my mot man). Separating the lens from the headlight isnt much fun but not very hard - just take plenty of pics of the spring clip positions and you will be fine.

Very similar specs to my car-no sunroof no LSD and no rear wiper-would like the LSD but do not really miss it for day to day driving.
After whats seemed like years of looking I finally found my dream 964, a left hooker non-sunroof C2 manual.
Its got some interesting options including that steering wheel and no rear wiper. Paint is good but needs a few bits sorting out. Also high miles but engine seems strong with very few leaks. Only bit missing from the ultimate spec is an LSD but thankfully this is a bolt-on part unlike the roof and left-hooker-ness.
Car is currently on Irish plates and the wrong wheels but once thats sorted I'll get a few better pics.
