No sunroof for me as I do not use them.

My #1 delete. No sunroof. Now if I had hair I might think differently.

I would LOVE to have mine in glass. (I have the non glass sunroof) but it seems hard to find a cpo with the glass option.

I have had sun roofs on most of my cars. On my 2018 911.2 I have the black glass roof which makes a great contrast to the white body. I use it in either tilt or open most of the time. Again personal preference, its like a cabriolet without the hassle. Enjoy these great P cars whichever way you like them.

This, too much yellow with a steel roof, I like the contrast. For daily driving the extra weight factor is meaningless.

The contrast is great as well as bringing in more light into the cabin.

I was on in the fence but my wife convinced me to get and and so glad I did. Now I can’t imagine having the car without.

I went with sun roof delete for two reasons - first, too tall to fit in cars with one (test drove multiple) and second like the flow of the color on my C2 GTS with painted slates

Unfortunately my 3 series BMW Sportwagon came standard with a DOUBLE glass Panoramic sunroof which I have had coated with heat resistant and dark tint film as well. Thought I would pass these comments on to anyone who is contemplating this option..........Air conditioning DOES help but still I would prefer a standard metal sunroof or no sunroof at all.

One option >> cover the exterior with black gloss vinyl wrap. Won't let the sun thru and same look on the outside.

I'm torn for reasons others have mentioned. I do like the additional light in the interior with the glass roof but there are times even with the shade in place when the sun is directly overhead that I find the light distracting.

Look for a car in South Florida. Hard to find one with no sunroof.
