To those with no sunroof E30's / welding up sunroof...

[UNHCLL]

Okay so how do I go about unclogging it?

Open the sunroof
You'll see 4 holes (1 in each corner)
Blow compressed air down each one.
Don't blow massive amounts at high speed, you could dislodge the tube and then you create a bigger issue.

The rear holes drain in front of the rear wheels I think...
The front holes drain behind the front wheels.
You can also stick a plumbers snake down each one to help loosen things up.

Man, you are crazy, I own 3 non sunroof e30's and I wish they had sunroofs... not fair.

I had to buy webasto hollandia aftermarket sunroof :)

EDIT:glass sunroof.

I wonder how much sunroof equipment weights...that would be a good amount of weight lost, wouldn't it?

[e30 gangsta]

54 lbs i cut it all out. Thats what it weighs.

Thats right. I was reading my suscription of GRM today. They did the same. People used to tell me are you stupid? And i would say, " more head room, cage bars can go higher to the roof, so overall more safety get it?" Then people would tell me but you lose your sunroof blah blah blah. Some people just dont get it. If i were you just cut it out.

Is that shooter screwed to the roof?

I dont understand what you are trying to say. But if your trying to say her giving the finger towards the roof then yes.

[trent]

no i mean...what did you use to attach the panel?

looks like rivits or shooter screws

Are the non sunroof pillars solid (no drains?)

Could it be that non sunroof cars are more torsionally rigid due to this fact (if they are indeed solid)

[mazur]

I hate sunroofs. It gave me no headroom with a helmet on in my e36. Don't have that problem with the E30, but just knowing the mass of weight that sits above me just bothers me.

CF replacement FTW. My friend did this on his E36 M3 and it rocks.

They are not solid, if you mean like there is no "tunnel" in pillar, non sunroof car have sama construct as sunroofs, stamped plates spot welded together.

Non sunroof cars are a bit more rigid, since the roof panel it self is one piece(without the hole) and the is a better "cross brace" between the B-pillars.

Yea I meant would the removal of the tunnel add to rigidity.

54 lbs. i think the sunroof is coming out along with the interior tar.
