Guest gunner Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 some japanese person must have put it in! it lets the sun in though, can be quite useful, i don't understand the smileys too well but you can see it on the pics, it is the square black thing on the roof.

Aerotop Dave Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Wow, I've never seen a Supra with a sunroof before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunner Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 judging by the reaction of most people there can't be many about, what a selling point maybe i should put the price up! to be honest i rarely use it i mainly use the air con.

I've heard it said on a forum somewhere that you have to cut something important out of the roof to fit a sunroof, which is why no-one ever does it...

Aerotop Dave Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Presumably something that isn't fitted to the Aerotops then or Toyota found a way round the 'important thing' and maybe this has been copied by sunroof fitters? Someone fitted a boost controller or some other electronic gizmo in the roof of a Supra recently - I can't remember who it was and I wonder if they'll read this thread, but I assume they had to take the roof liner out and would be in the best position to tell us what's up there. Gunner, does it impact on headroom at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 It's a first for me! Aerotops are obviously have strengthening in place to counteract the fact you've removed a section of your roof - they still flex hence why many put strut bars on. By cutting the roof you're effectively reducing the frame rigidity (although I doubt you'd be able to tell too much). I've not seen the roof without the lining so couldn't say wether there is a specific reinforcement section there or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunner Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 it is quite a narrow sunroof, it doesn't seem to have any ill effect and it doesn't affect the headroom i am 6 4". it must have cost a few quid to install it is tilt/slide and electric, must be down to some japanese dude.

Aerotop Dave Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I always thought/assumed the Aerotop strengthening was in the chassis? Not sure if putting any in the roof bit above the rear seats would do anything (I don't know about these things though). My Aerotop tends to 'twist' about it's longitudinal axis with the roof out, or perhaps it's the weld join from the cut&shut causing that...

looneytune Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Lovely looking sup, if i could sell my rx id buy this in an instant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I've saw 2 of these with sunroofs when i was buying mine 5 years ago at JIC. I was asking about it as i quite liked the idea. Aparently the previous owner had his put in and they said it was quite unusual.. I went and got some quotes for aprox £400 to have it done, but then there was the argument of body roll and it not having the strength... Still, keep thinking i should have it done as i still like it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
