how much weight does the sunroof add? if any any answers would be much appreciated!

Considering the glass is probably ligher than the metal it's replacing, I'd have to say probably not much if any.

IT MAY ADD WEIGHT FROM THE EXTRA MECHANICAL PARTS

if your trying to lighten up the car to gain et rule of thumb is it takes 100 lbs to gain .10

For some reason ~50 pounds comes to mind (heavier). Don't really know why.

....

The glass weighs less than the metal it replaces, yet I said it would still probably weigh a bit more. I was implying that the guides and mechanical parts would make up the difference. Having trouble finding your caps lock key?

im just taking the consideration of the extra weight in. cause i want a lite car, as much as possible

For most cars it's about 30 lbs. for a metal sunroof, and sometimes up to 45 for a glass one (BTW- glass weighs more than the metal). The worst part about the weight is that it's at the highest point in the car possible, which makes it the single worst place to add weight for handling. If you are serious about autoX, I wouldn't recommend one, at least thats why I went with no options

Sunroofs kill performance. they raise the center of gravity and they generally weigh 35-45 pounds.

i couldve sworn i heard our sunroof was 70 pounds on the srt. not sure where it came from but makes since......you cant just weigh the sunroof itself, im pretty sure there has to be some type of roof reinforcement added to keep the ridgity in the chassis.almost positive its 70 pounds.
