Why doesn't the present generation of Mustang have a sunroof option?

 

I honestly can't remember the Mustang ever having a sunroof, but my first was a 2006. They had the glass roof on the later S197, but I bet with the weight increase on the S550, they won't offer that as an option with this generation.

JR

 

I am pretty upset still that they don't offer the glass roof... that was my favorite thing about my '14 when I had that. My guess is because of the aerodynamics of the roof on the S550's. They aren't as flat as they used to be on previous generations.

 

I have to agree that it is probably the curvature of the roof. The roof is not as flat as previous Mustangs.

 

Why doesn't anyone make t-tops anymore? That would be so much more awesome! Yes, I'm showing my age.

 

My 78 Trans Am had the T-Tops and my 79 Mustang Cobra had the sun roof.....also aging myself....

 

The shape of the S550's roof doesn't support many options.....1 more reason I bought the 14 !!

I must point out the ultimate sunroof option is still available. I personally think it is a terrific option. Still enjoying my 2006 version.

 

I keep hoping that one of these days we'll find out that next year's Mustang will be offered with a third roof option, whether it's a fixed glass roof, T-Tops, or a Lincoln MKZ-style panoramic roof. I've been driving cars with a transparent roof of one type or another going back to my 1988 Mustang GT, and I don't want to give it up.

 

The older cars had a roof that was for the most part "flat". The '15-'16 have ridges formed into the metal running the length of the roof so it is fairly impossible to get a glass panel to work right.

 

Maybe they decided not to compete with vert sales. If you want sunshine you have to go big or stay inside

 

Mustang II's and the Fox Body Mustangs had a sunroof option.

 

They also had T-Tops.

Here is a picture of my 89 Shelby Daytona with T-Tops.

 

LoL. I Still have my '78 WS6. It took Pontiac 6 months to build it because when they had the WS6 parts they didn't have the Hurst T-tops, just the little ones like in Smokey and the Bandit. Anyway they kept trying to cancel the order but my dealer always convinced them to wait. Eventually they had parts for both options at the same time and built the **** thing. They did still have to cancel the WS7 option (rear disks) for the model year because those parts never materialized.
