I was wondering if anyone has ever done this or if it was even possible. Just a thought that passed through my head.

 

Over the rear passengers? In what direction would the glass retract? Seems like a good idea, but I have never heard of it before (on a Maxima at least).

 

maybe just a pop up roof b/c there would be no room in the roof for the additional sunroof to retract

 

Actually, if you did this there would be no room for the front sunroof to retract either.

 

have u ever seen the mercedes with an all glass top?

 

Im assuming that this is meant for maximas without moonroof already..

 

Doesn't the new Maybach or however spell it have a full glass top? Mercedes' version of the Roll's Royce.

 

He did call it a passing thought...I hope it passed through and left no traces.

 

an all glass roof like the Explorers in JP would be tight

 

you can't do two fully functioning sunroofs (ie- slide all the way back and such).

but you can do two pop up sunroofs or two sunroofs that tilt up (integra style).

people will flame you on this because its not the norm, so be prepared, a friend of mine has two pop ups on his avenger, if you want pics let me know.

 

NOT True! You CAN do two fully functional sunroofs on a Max. The rear one HAS to be a spoiler type, (i.e: Grand Prix style.) There's a company here in Indianapolis, IN that will do it for you. They're called Classic Auto Tops of Indy. the idea is that instead of the roof retracting into the headliner, it goes up and over the top of the car, requires no extra space, just the hole that it sits in. There are three different sizes, and the smaller one will definitely fit. The actual aftermarket company that produces the roof is Holandia, (which just happens to be the best aftermarket sunroof on the market), and the cost is around $799 Retail. Check out Holandia and see what you can find in your area!!!!

 

let's think this over.. one sunroof goes into the headliner and one above the roof.. ummmm.. that doesnt keep the whole idea of two of the same up there though??? two that retract above would work..

 

gimme

 

how much is it to install a sun/moon roof on a car that doesn't have one anyways? has anyone does this if their max didn't come with one? i know some people say it's not a good idea cuz it would leak but i assume if shops still do it, then it'd be fine.

 

if it leaks.. your shop sucks *****.. it shouldnt be more than 500 to install an OEM sunroof. but to do an aftermarket one.. 300-400.

 

Good point....Sorry I was drunk from a wedding last night.

You're right, they'd both have to be spoiler type.

Damn my head hurts this morning....

 

Holaindia spoiler type: Retail $799 (What we charge at my dealership)
Holandia spoiler type: Cost $499 (Nice call Big )

 

There's a 5-year warranty on all parts and a lifetime warranty on all labor with Classic Auto Tops. They're a little more expensive, but they're the best in town. We've tried other companies, but C.A.T.'s will pick up and deliver, (and actually return the vehicle when they say they will, not three hours late or the next day), and if there's ever a problem, we know they'll make it right.

 

that's what i like to hear.. posting drunk.. oh yeah and all this good info

 

Some landrovers have 2 sunroofs but I think they look pretty ugly

 

yeah, about a minute after I posted this I realized that it would never work correctly. I was not shall we say sober at that time and so I would like to take this time out to say I'm sorry to all of those people I have made a little bit dumber.

 

I have always wonder what is the difference between a moonroof and a sunroof? Just different names?

 

Hmmm...some show vehicles have retractable (sliding) ragtops the slide the whole length of the roof. Not exactly secure or weatherproof though..

I'm pretty sure a "moonroof" has glass. So that way you can leave the glass closed to let light in, or you can retract the glass to let fresh air in the car. Whereas the "sunroof" can only open; ie, no glass. Like in old saab's and VW's.

 

If you really want to open up your MAXIMA then install an electric ragtop from Street Beat. The bigger size should cover both the front and back of your car. The only drawback is windnoise if you don't install the deflector and if the install is bad you will have water leaking in.
