Has anyone tried installing a sunroof in an S2000 hardtop?

And oh yea, getting back on topic, try ASC, they install sunroofs to all kinds of cars and do many oem applications so you know they're good.

Non factory sunroofs are a nightmare from all the stories I have heard about them. Everone I know that has/had experiences with them are all bad. Lots of trouble with them leaking. Although it is a good idea, but I don't think it would look as good with the glass in the middle of the H/T.

Ok from personal experience with 2 other cars with aftermarket sunroofs. You can definetly get a pop-up sliding sunroof as seen in the Eclipse. As far as them being a nightmare, it's like anything else in the aftermarket industry. The installer is the key! I've had ones installed in a 95 Maxima and 95 Passport for over 7 years now, no leaks, no problems at all. Most good brands come with a 10 year guarantee against leaks. So if you had a problem, it's your installer and not the sunroof. Sunroofs need to be properly maintained. It can be done easily if you want an manual one. An automatic one would be nicer but I wonder how you would be able to wire up the power.

The del sol is bad because it's front drive and has 160 hp. I think it would rock. just take a hardtop and cut some t-tops in it. Leave a middle section for rigidity. Better than a sunroof. Except probably no where to store the tops. ???

the only problem you might run into is wiring...where would you run them, where would you put a switch etc....(assuming its electric)
