Sunroof Tilt mode

the Tilt mode sucks on the 2k/2k1 maximas(not sure if also on the 2k2)

it opens up so little thati can't even stick my finger there, wtf is up with that, i keep on noticing that and it ****es me off seeing that VW and all other cars can tilt their sunroof more then twice then i can.

Any way to make it raise up some more??

you know the maxima must be a great car when owner's start complaining about the amount of sunroof tilt. i think the tilt does its job just fine, it vents air from outside. i prefer to just open the sunroof. does the dealer installed wind deflector do anything, because i think that my sunroof is quiet without it.

YEa...the tilt sucks @ss... ish a POS...damn that tilt...but hey, one thing kewl about the sunroof is that it tilts when u open/close your sunroof...i think thats great...well the wind deflecter DOES make it Quieter and Less Windy...i took the deflector off while i detailed the car mainly took it off to clay the area under deflector, drove around for about 2 weeks, when i put it back on after 2 coats of polish and 3 coats of wax i put it back on...it wuz quieter and didn't have as much wind in the cabin, but it feels like the cabin gets pressurized if ONLy the sunroof is open...kinda like when u just leave one window a lil open....

it does the job of venting but it looks like **** from the outside, if it could only be raised at by an inch or more, then it would look a lot better.

Nissan can be so fuc*king dumb sometimes, they do the job but not all of it, they put a sunroof but a crappy one...wtf is the point??

have you seen the Mitsubishi Eclipse's sunroof tilt? but if we were able to tilt like theirs it wouldn't look as good.
