Make Your 1986 Porsche 944 Better with Carbon Fiber Sunroofs

Table of Contents

Do you hate when your Porsche 944 feels too heavy at the top? Does your old sunroof leak or break all the time? Are you tired of fixing parts that no one makes anymore?

You are not alone! Many Porsche 944 owners face these big problems.

Let’s look at why carbon fiber sunroofs can fix everything and make your car better!

The Problem: Why Old Porsche 944 Sunroofs Make Your Car Worse

Your 1986 Porsche 944 has a sunroof that causes many problems:

  • It is too heavy (9.2 pounds of glass and metal)
  • It can break and parts are hard to find
  • It makes your car hotter in summer
  • The moving parts fail often (62% have gear box issues)
  • It leaks water into your car

The worst part? If you have a car made before February 1986, you have the old style sunroof with parts that cannot be fixed – you must replace the whole thing!

Why These Problems Hurt Your Porsche Experience

When your sunroof is bad:

  • Your car has worse handling because of too much weight up high
  • You spend more money fixing old parts
  • Your car interior gets wet and moldy from leaks
  • You feel hotter in summer (23% more heat comes through glass)
  • You cannot enjoy the fun of open-air driving

One Porsche owner said: “My sunroof got stuck open during a rain storm. The repair cost $420 because the whole gear box needed replacing. I wish I had known about carbon fiber options!”
