Was A Sunroof A Factory Option Or Aftermarket?

aftermarket dealership option

Stricktly aftermarket, whether a dealership installed it or not.

There was a company out of Anaheim California called "Z-Lid" by Chas. Anybody remember them? The Scarab has one and it's really quite neat. I wish I had a scanner, I'd upload all the literature on it.

Here's the specs...

Roof opening 24 in. x 37.5 in.

Lid weight approx. 12 lbs.

Somewhere buried, I've got Z-lid literature. The problem with all the 240Z sunroofs (and yes, they were all aftermarket) is that the car wasn't designed for them and they tended to flex - and leak - as well as weaken any rollover support until you installed a rollbar. One of the neatest installations ever was a rollbar I got for my '72 240 (HLS30-53332, which replaced my '70 HLS30-01455). It took up no usable space in the hatch compartment, yet stiffened the chassis considerably and improved handling.

When I was younger a remember seeing at least two metal roll back type sunroof Zs. They appeared to be factory to me.

Spridal, Is this what you saw?
