i have a 2k2 maxima and i love the moonroof. it's so beautifully constructed. when i drive around i love opening the roof and getting that roadster feeling. who else likes to have the roof open? who out there is partial to the closed roof? just wondering.

I usually use the tilt and once in a blue moon I'll open up the whole sunroof.

 

I forgot I even have one.

 

Since I am a smoker, I use the sunroof alot, nothing better than being on the highway, cruising a low 6th, ashing the cigarette out the sunroof while listening to Tupac's philosophies, and after throwing the cigarette out the sunroof, slide the button all the way forward, downshift to 5-4, and catch some speed.

By the way, I am a very careful smoker, never caused any burnholes in my other 2 cars

 

On long trips if I'm tired I'll set the cruise and push my way up so my head is sticking out the sunroof. YEAH!!!

Keep mouth closed. Bugs taste bad.

But how many brush fires and destroyed homes have you caused by throwing your butts out the sunroof?

 

Yeah smoking is a No no, your gonna die, blah. Anyway I like my sunroof open at night, but during the day it's usually closed same with my windows.

 

I was going to correct your "your" to "you're" but your profile says you're only two years old, so there's no point.

 

hmm funny...but mines usually closed..but the shade slid back....its totally open when im crusin around the city..or runnin errands..

 

I envy those of you living in sunny climates. Here in Seattle, you drive with the sunroof closed the majority of the year...unless you like the smell of wet leather/carpet.

 

If you go fast enough, the rain just flies over the top of the car...

Tony

 

Come back to Cali, it hasnt rained here in months.......

 

Open. Had one on my 89. Would never get a car without one now.

 

Whenever it is open window weather, I have my moonroof open all the way. I rarely use the tilt though. If it is blistering hot out, like in the summer and my interior is like 1000 degrees, I'll turn on the A/C for a little to cool off.

 

Down at night when its warm, up in the day. Sun's too hot so just close the shade and a/c on.

OMG really I didn't think people actually read peoples profiles, I mean maybe go to their home pages...but. Anyway sorry if YOU'RE upset by my so-so grammer.
It's just usually not my top priority. I do care about forest fires but sometimes people make mountains out of mole hills.

 

why would you even take the time to type that?

 

I never use the tilt except if I leave it parked on a hot day. For some reason it seems like there would be less hot air trapped inside!

Do you guys have the deflector, or is it just bs?! I have one, but I think I may take it off. Is there much of a noise difference or what?!

 

I dont have one, I understand it helps to a certain degree...but I think it looks kinda ugly. (IMO)

 

Mine came with it, but I'm like you - I think it's gotta go!

 

i was talking about this the other day with someone. i forget who it was. he said that he took his off and there was hardly (if any) difference. i think im going to be taking mine off fairly soon.

 

Well i dont think the deflector is too bad. about putting it on tilt to let out hot air, does anyone have one of those sunshade things that keeps the car cooler? I've seen them, but most look kinda stupid. anyone have one that works and looks decent?

Yeah...I'm not a big fan of rain, but it is very green here...and I LIKE that!!!

Tony

 

I think the deflector will do more to keep rain out if you crack your sunroof open a bit, more than to reduce wind noise...

 

On highway or close to highway speeds the rain does not come inside my car at all. I suppose this is b/c of my deflector...?

Tony

 

I use mine whenever the weather says I can. (See sig.)

I've got one on. I think it ruins the lines of the car, but I can actually cruise at 70mph with the sunroof open, with no sound flutter or other undesireable effects that I've seen and had on other cars at 35mph.

So it seems to be functional. So I left it on.

Maybe the reason it doesn't bother me, is it pretty much matches the color of my car...
I picked up one at a Wal-Mart in florida, 'cause the florida sun is brutal. It's this big-*** silver thing that folds like an accoridian. (I figure if I'm ever stranded on a desert island with my max, I can use it to flag down an airplane. )

You don't realize how big our windshields are until you see one of these things.

It works. You can get in your car and not have skin cook and stick to the seats. It may look ugly, but it does keep the interior cooler, and saves your interior...

 

I bought one at Schucks. It's two rectangle-shaped shades made out of a nylon-type fabric. They fold into a cirlce and I store them in the pocket behind the passenger seat. They work awesome at keeping the car a little cooler, but the big benefit is they block UV rays so your dash lasts longer.

Tony

 

What a wonderful, Norman Rockwell picture of life in the 21st century.

 

I have the shade open almost full time, except when I am trying to rapidly cool down the car. I have the roof open almost all the time except when its blazing hot.

Southern Cali weather!

 

if you don't like rain move to NC it only rains here the day after i wash and wax my car no matter what the damn weather says

What part of NC are you in? I live in Greensboro but work in RTP.

 

Ha Ha

I did that once while comming back from E-town in NJ. I had about 20 guys rolling with me and I poped my head out the sunroof and took off. I had them all rolling laughing.

75mph with your head out is tough to see though I had some serious tears coming out of my eyes....


BTW- Sun roof is open when AC is not in use.

 

i'm in charlotte us NC guys need to have a meet sometime it seems there are about 10 or so that i can find on the org

 

This is true. We could all drive to Tennessee to see the new plant.

 

OT -

What is up with this:

HKSA Exhaust

Is this one of those wanna be systems? If so, for that price I would rather get the real deal.

Thoughts?

 

hey thats a thought but then we could get more people outside the state to meet up and have a bigger meet i want to go to the track

 

wrong thread and yes it is a knock off

 

I usually use the tilt to get the air circulating better in the cabin. Occassionally open it up all the way on a nice day!

I've seen this on Ebay and almost bought it too. The guy uses the EVO SP to portray a Greddy exhaust. Looks good but not sure how it performs. I think one of the member's here bought one of these..but forgot who.

 

Yeah! The Corvettes go to the Corvette Museum every year. They just made a trip (forums.corvetteforums.com) recently. On the way there, they stopped and picked up a few more members everyday.

 

i think it would be a fun trip when everybody sees 10 maximas travel together on the hwy hopefully we can get more but its just a dream right now until we can organize something. I want to get a group together to go to commerce drag strip hopefully this month to meet some of the atl guys
