View Full Version : Sunroof!!! Spider-Ham 12-19-2002, 12:09 PM If I get one of these things, I'll be coming out of a Miata, so I will need to feel the wind in my hair! I wonder if a big hole in the roof will not be possible because of the lack of B pillars? I haven't seen this issue mentioned anywhere. I think later in the year the 350Z will offer a sunroof. Buger 12-19-2002, 12:26 PM Hi Spider-Ham, You can see a picture of the rx-8 sunroof at the below link: http://www.auto-web.co.jp/NEW_CAR/RX-8/02.html Translation of the caption reads "Electromotive & sun roof of tilt rise sliding choice possibility. Opening a little balance as for the open impression the sufficient. The switch is located on the rearview mirror." Brian wakeech 12-19-2002, 12:30 PM this isn't addressed in the FAQ??? maybe PatrickB should whip out his editting stick and add a small passage or two about suspected options/accessories... we've seen pictorial evidence of sunroofs (sunrooves?? i don't think so...) in the RX-8, but of course we haven't anyone guaranteeing us anything yet, eh?? but it's quite possible. the B-pillar IS still there, it's a pipe in the rear (i think) door that bolts into place when the door is closed and locked... so really, it's just a floating B-pillar. structurally, the chassis base is supposedly the best Mazda's ever come out with by leaps and bounds, so it's fairly safe to say that it'll be alright with a fair sized hole in the roof (considering we've seen pictures of this). use the search feature and dig some stuff up: there's lots. WELCOME TO THE FORUM!! Spider-Ham 12-19-2002, 12:40 PM The issue of a sunroof is addressed in the FAQ. I didn't bother to check. Thanks! bwayout 12-19-2002, 12:43 PM I even remember reading somewhere about a future convertible model being possible ;) zoom44 12-19-2002, 01:21 PM Spider-Ham do a search using sunroof and my user name and you should find several older threads where we discussed this ad nauseum. there will also be some other pics of earlier rx8's with sunroofs! ilovepotatos 12-27-2002, 04:18 PM Buger, you scare me with your pictures. tallguylehigh 12-27-2002, 04:55 PM Buger, you scare me with your pictures.
