Quick question I just ordered a 2SS/RS IOM last week and I did order a sun roof and have recently been reading of a couple guys regreting it I am about 6' and 190lbs do you think I will regret it I have always wanted a sun roof and this is my chance but I also don't want to regret it I have never sat in one with a sun roof and have not seen any in the area where I could go sit in one any guidence would be great thanks.

I rented a Black L99 1SS at DIA last Oct with a sunroof. I'm 6'4 and did not have any problems. What it all comes down to is how you are comfortable driving. I had the seat all the way back and laid back somewhat. I ordered mine with a sunroof!

I have a sunroof in my current car (scion tc) and I live in California and I rarely ever use it. It's hard to hear the radio when your doing 60 or 70 on the freeway. Not getting a sunroof anymore.

buzzy56 · 01-25-2010, 02:39 PM

Yea I agree.It all depends on how high and how far you set back.I weigh 181 lbs. and am 6'-2" & dont have a problem.I sense (In my mind) how close the roof is but have not hit my head yet going over bumps et'c.No mohawk mind ya and avergage hair height for a 63 yr.old that still has most all of his hair! LOL.Go to a dealer and set in one today.Who said bald isnt a cool.

I wouldn't recommend the sunroof for anyone over 6'.

Some guys seem to make it work, but many do not. I'm 6'3'' and don't fit in the Camaro's with the sunroof.

Seeing that you're 6' even, you could probably handle the sunroof. But I would find a dealership that has a car with a sunroof and try it out for yourself.

6'4" 225 lbs. not a problem. LOVE IT.

If your all torso, you'll want to sit in one quickly before your car is slated for production and too late to change your options.

MikeSVX · 01-25-2010, 02:55 PM

I'm not tall enough to have the problem, but I imagine it depends on how much you like to recline the seat.

I'm only 5'10 so I'm good too.

SamsinSS · 01-25-2010, 03:24 PM

Adjust your seat just right and no problems! I love my sunroof!

SikMaro · 01-25-2010, 03:26 PM

you need to put the seat all the way down on the adjustment and pull the seat back a little, you'll fit fine and you can still see over the dash. i am 6'1" and fit perfect w/ my sunroof. i also have a little Mohawk and that doesnt even touch, it adds 3in to my height so 6'4" total with no problems. go sit in one, dealers are now getting ones in stock and should be there to sit in. adjust the seat to your comfort and see. that easy

joeaux · 01-25-2010, 08:27 PM

Uh, I'm 6' exactly. My head doesn't touch the top unless I try to have the seat up to high. Lower the seat a bit and your head won't touch the top. Mine doesn't. I didn't want a sunroof originally. Just extra stuff. But it was on the car I ended up getting and now I like it. Yeah, lower the seat a bit. It'll be fine.

6'2" myself and no worries about the sunroof. I do move the seat forward when I plan on getting up on the wheel for better control and I can feel my hair just touching the headliner. I think its fine.
