So my girlfriend thinks that my truck needs a sunroof. It has a lift and 35's on it so you really wouldn't be able to see it from the outside. My only concern is the possible leaking I would have since it would be a aftermarket not a factory sunroof. Does anyone have any experience with a aftermarket sunroof?

Cutting a huge hole in your brand new truck? good luck! seriously though, a reputable shop and good brand like Webasto and you'd be fine probably be $1500 or so

I would bolt down a seat in the back , with a saftey belt of course. Not tools required.

Seriously thou, if you do anything try to see a finished product on someone elses vehicle . (reference)

All sunroofs leak a bit, factory or aftermarket. That's why they have drip trays and drain hoses. As long as you find an experienced shop, you should be fine.

I've had a sunroof in the last two cars I've owned. When I get a Silverado, I'll be getting one.

 

I love them. It's great rolling it back on a nice summer day, with all the windows down. Never had leaking problems with mine.

I love the rolling down back window in my brothers tundra. Good to get the cold ones from the cooler while going to the lake or beach. Sunroof gives any vehicle a sexier look. Is like a pu**y magnet with a sunroof lol

I guess I'm one of the 5 people that doesn't care for a sunroof or opening back window. I don't even see a need for the rear windows opening in my truck. I can see wanting a sunroof in a car to make it feel bigger. I don't get it in a pickup though. As far as the sliding rear glass, every older vehicle I've seen with it has had issues with it, and I don't see what it's useful for. Basically it's another window motor to go out lol.

 

I have seen people add sunroofs to older pickups, but they're manually operated and will cause more wind noise. There are kits for it.

No sunroof for me. The sun and I do not get along so I did not order that option. I did enjoy one for night time use I few cars back. Guess it depends on how you would use it. Sounds like you want it to make your truck look better. I say go for it if that's what you want and you have the money.

I've had sunroofs on most vehicles I've owned and opened them once or twice. I passed. I will say that I loved my tundra power rear window, but again, i didn't use it enough to pay extra for it had it been an option.

I've had many sunroofs on all kinds of cars and suvs.. I've hardly ever used them.. on a bmw or mb I owned there was a glitch.. I think it was the 03 s500.. there was a module that would glitch and open all the Windows and sunroof.. people would report coming out in the morning to all of them down and the car filled with snow

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
