'Cause it's a pain to twist on that damn ****, when a crank would be more efficient. I'm not trying to change the world with this idea, obviously. Just thought it would be "cool", like the kids say.

I'm with YOU. It's a pain to crank and crank and crank during a sudden rainstorm.......
God, I'm a lazy ***. Actually, I just finished installing remote locks on my SE and I'm looking for something else to do...

My 85 GSL has an automatic sunroof (at least when my wife rides in the car)..
Come to think of it, I have a power cigarette lighter, beer opener and french fry handler too.........

I have always kicked around the idea of a motor with a worm drive gear that would do it electrically, but I never cared enough to try it.

Besides, my sunroof is open almost 100% of the time anyway even in the rain, so I dont really open and close it that much. Rain never comes in unless Im backing up anyway. I only really close it when Im parking for the night, or when I feel I need to secure the car if Im gonna be gone for a while (at a movie or something).

Power accessories=more weight and just something else to break, in my opinion. I think I'm just going to kludge on a little handle and rotating **** right on to the stock ****. A REAL sports car should be a bit Spartan, don't you think?
