Nope. Only a factory power sunroof from Mazda will do. I do have standards ya know.

Replying to: rock44x (Apr 06, 2004 12:46 pm) Exactly what I'm looking for ! Did you get that straight from the dealer or you had to go to a body shop ? I already asked Mazda to reconsider making the spoiler an option.

Are you sure the factory moonroof is cut into the car at the factory??

frame. Factory roofs have the reinforcement and drainage built into the roof stamping.   You can tell a factory roof by the lack of the frame on outside of the car and the "cleaner" roll of the sheetmetal around the opening. You can't replicate a true factory installed sunroof. Not even ASC has gotten that good yet. Replies to this message: escortowner (Oct 03, 2004 12:58 pm)

Replying to: gee35coupe (Sep 30, 2004 10:47 am) I am in the process of selecting, and negotiating the price and options of a new Mazda6. The salesman said that any of the cars can have a moonroof added that is virtually indetectable that it isn't stock (with the exception of it not having exactly the same controls on the interior).   However, after seeing these messages it makes me reluctant to have one cut into the top due to the structural changes to the car.   Hoowever, I am not sure how much of an impact it will have. Can someone please inform me of what the negative impact would be? specifically around the reinforcement.   Thanks

Well, I think it's more of a personal preference than anything. Factory sunroofs are less prone to leaks though mainly because the car was designed to specifications. Mazda knows down to the least little measurement how large the sunroof opening should be. An aftermarket sunroof may be more vulnerable to human error.   Also, it will decrease the value of the car if you decide to sell or trade it.
#17038 of 17805 No offense, but.... by groovypippin Oct 04, 2004 (1:05 pm)
This is really kind of a stupid discussion. the MazdaSpeed Mazda6 will not have a sunroof and will not have a fold down rear seat to help achieve a 40% improvement in torsional rigidy.   This is why the sedan bodystyle was chosen and not the hatch or wagon - because Mazda wanted maximum structural strength to handle all of the new horsepower and torque.   MazdaSpeed models are no-compromise, performance oriented vehicles. If not having a sunroof is a deal-breaker then go buy an Accord Coupe.

But you can get the Legacy GT with a sunroof and that might be what a lot of people compare the MazdaSpeed 6 to. They are both import mid-size sedans with AWD and turbos. Price being the same I would take the Subaru with a sunroof and other goodies while still having comparable performance at the levels I would drive it.

Replying to: anonymousposts (Oct 05, 2004 4:35 pm) They may indeed, but MazdaSpeed vehicles - as I said - are no-compromise vehicles that are purely performance oriented.   Early reports indicate that the Mazda will have more HP and more TQ than the Legacy and will likely be much more performance oriented in terms of its handling capabilities.   Plus, they are only making 4000 of them for North America. People looking for AWD and a sunroof can, and probably will, buy a Subaru. People looking for more of a pure performance sedan will probably look more seriously at the MazdaSpeed 6
