I have never used my sunroof or cupholders or cigarette lighter or tire goop, or the back seats, or the funny little headlight sprayer thingys.

I try to use my passenger seat as little as possible.

Amen brother - I can say I have also NOT used those items... though my wife is a permanent fixture in the passenger seat.

I find the wind noise from a sunroof more annoying than the wind noise in a Cab.

I've been temped to epoxy the sunroof shut permanently. Every few months the gd thing starts rattling again and I have to bring it in for them to tighten it...and every time they insist on driving it and tell me they can't get it to rattle so they can't fix it...and I tell them to just do the same thing they did last time I had it in. Even on the few days a year here it's cool enough not to need the A/C, the sun is still hot beating down on my neck, and there are birds up there ready to poop. The most I've ever used the roof was with the back end up for a few miles to help the heat escape, and I'd be just as happy to crack the windows instead.

Not a fan. Most of the time it's too hot here to use it. Either that or you are blinded by the sun. Although I think it's really a moon roof - not bad at night, except for the noise.

I'd delete it if it was an option. Although it would not likely be a no-cost option. Like the Cayman R - pay more for less!

No use for a sunroof. If I want a tan, I usually just pull up a chair next to my 911 and have a beer...all the sun I need!!

btw, why no poll?

Same reason on the Cayman S..

If the 911 coupe didn't have the sunroof I would have to have bought the cab.

Never had that problem. Might ask them to check it.
