So if a cab weights about 155 lbs more, there is no way a moonroof is 100 lbs.

So here's a glass sunroof model.

Note that a lot of this added weight (for the cab) is structural down below in order to make up for the lack of stiffness against body twist.

Now that's a fun little toy! Wish that Porsche could reinvent it.

Most fun I ever had behind the wheel was in my 951s.

I have the steel sunroof and like it for four reasons:
- weight
- My 911s have always had a steel sliding roof
- Like the look of the painted roof vs black glass - subjective of course
- less glass to do the 'ol 911 creak over time

I replaced my steel sunroof with a glass roof. My car is black so it was a simple DIY. The glass roof weighs about 5 to 7 pounds more than the steel panel

This makes sense, the weight differential is far less than people think


Stunning car !

I always thought that the optioned glass sunroof was much bigger than the steel one.

I said so earlier but no one believed, 6 lbs difference between metal and glass and the whole assembly is about 40 lbs total. avoiding the whole thing will save 30 lbs or so.

Thanks! Happy to hear it's only a 23 lbs - thought it would be worse. Seems a bit overblown based on your report.

The coupe roof has to weigh something, so the glass sunroof is a <20 lb penalty. I've heard the 18 way seats are 30 lbs heavier than the 4 ways!

What about the metal bracing for the large hole in the roof?
