well i just found out about this little trick and didnt know if anyone knew about it. its new to me

 

another view

 

hope u dont do that while going, it will fly off.. haha wow.

 

nah, held up well, i took it up to 80 and no problem

 

how'd you have it holding there? more pictures more details.

 

just flip the sunroof around...thats it...i figured it out while i was bored so i decided to post it to see if i have discovered something new. it works good, looks like its electric also

 

hm, im not so sure how that would look on mine, i usually just take the whole damn thing off and put it in my rear hatch area. so boredom caused this?!?

 

sure did...

 

Wasn't your car grey? And Turbo too?

 

this is the other one....tan and 12a streetported N\A...my grey one is a TO4 12a. its actually in the background, and thats the auto x-ing miata

 

It'd be easier to take it all the way off - and you wouldn't need to worry about it coming off and causing an accident. That's beaucoup liability if and when it occurs.

 

That's how it looks on a 3rd gen when out.

Creates more downforce.

Heh, that's a good idea, i rarely had hatch space and usually left my sunroof in my garage, got caught a few times in unexpected rain.

I should've thought of that, i'm sure it's very secure in place, the latches are powerful, you won't have to worry about that going anywhere.

 

Sweet, I'll have to try that out when it gets warmer here.

 

You seriously took it up to 80 without any shutter or anything worrisome happening? That's badass!

 

sweet, thats an awesome find! im gonna use it on the drive to appleblossom

 

The secondary latch is a one-way latch, as in this configuration defeats it.

That sucker comes off after hitting a hard bump at speed, or whipped off by wind resistance, and strikes the windshield of the car behind you and you're criminally negligent. We're talking jail time AND fines.

Is it worth it?

 

I can't remember it's configuration, i remember having a difficult time getting it removed sometimes however.

 

You guys are ******* tripping!!!

Just got back in form working on the 7, and just HAD to go back out side and try it.

Ok, you know the two red latch type things that you have to push first before you push on the third latch to...ok thats where its held down by the two red PLASTIC latches...

PLASTIC, maybe, mmmaaayyybeee casual cruise through the city....less that 35mph...even then with it rattling or moving or adding stress to those plastic latches it will eventually wear and no longer "LATCH TIGHTLY"...

try it and then push up and down on the "rear end" side for the sunroof........luckily you were probably driving on a smooth road.

I just had to try it today too.

NO ******* WAY!!!

I would never attempt to drive even casually around town like that.

Like 1984se said. It's being held only by those two red plastic clips. Even once you crank the anchor back down, there is still WAY too much play in that thing.

Not a chance in hell that would be safe at 80.

I call complete on that.

And seriously hiboost7, were you thinking suggesting this? It's totally unsafe, and if someone tried it, and then referred to you as the source of the information, you could end up with some liability for their stupidity as well.

Come on man, use your head.

I realize that this could have just been a joke. But you need to clarify that eventually. And prefferably before someone goes out and doesn't really check it out, but rather just trusts you and hurts someone.
