I have a glass hole and like it a lot. I always have the sunshade retracted, and I like the additional light in the car. To me it makes the car seems roomier which of course it is not. I don't open it all that often, but I'm glad it is there for those really nice days.

I guess you could call me a glasshole, because I am quick to show my crack.

Hole here. Use it all the time. I think a lot depends on where you live. Here you can use it year 'round except when it rains. No issues with the mechanism (knock wood!) though of course there is some weight. I'll counter that soon with an Antigravity battery.

I had PPF installed and the guys took about 50 photos of my car for social media promotion. They really did a good job finding shadows and light combos to make the GBM pop. Much better than I could ever do.

I have a glass sunroof on mine, but I bought used and would have bought one without a sunroof if I could have. I think I have opened it twice in a year of ownership and I live in Florida! I think the car looks weird when it's open (glass panel slides over the top of the roof) and I really don't feel it's large enough to feel like I'm "soaking in the sun and enjoying the fresh air."

No hole for me in my 991.2, Extra weight, extra money, higher CG and I don't like them.

Same. Instead of a "sunroof delete" option they should make it standard then offer a "Weissachs package roof" for $1000 per pound saved

Sshhhhh!!! They deleted two cylinders and will charge extra to have them back in the two seat cars. I wonder how they will swing the 4 cylinder 911? Call it the 912L? for Leicht weight maybe, or 912D, for direckte injection. Whatever the case, when the 6 comes back later it'll be more expensive than the preceding model...
