sunroof Options

[uberschall]

i have an issue with the sunroof. apparently i'm taller than the designers expected, and my head hits the roof with the seat up where i like it and wearing my autocross helmet is downright ugly in there.

as far as i could tell, gt's are really hard to find without sunroofs.

has anyone ever had a bodyshop weld a panel in it's place? i don't even care if it looks that great, but i could really use that extra inch of headroom.

yeah, i know they're out there...i just couldn't find one when i was looking. in fact, i was lucky to find a manual, too. most of them for sale within 250 miles or so were auto, st, high mileage, or a combination of those.

both of my celicas (my old coupe and my current hatch) are equipped.

i didn't want an st, but i would have liked no sunroof (more common on st's) and manual windows. i guess the trade off for the disc brakes, slightly more power, and little stuff like the strut tower brace makes the gt worth it.

i'm thinking i might make a trip to a local scrapyard with a sawzall and cut out a section of the roof from a non-sunroof car...if they'll let me, anyway!
