Summary: Saab makes an excellent sunroof!

In some unseen original article, somebody writes:

The best sunroof I've every seen is in my '81 Saab Turbo.  It doesn't
use either a crank or electric drive; there is a sort of flexible lock
rod that spans the width of the roof insert, and when you pull or push
on the latch the rod flexes and disengages, letting you open or close
the roof.  (Is that clear?  Probably not...)

The best part is that the Saab has so much head room that a tall person
like me won't mind the inevitable head room loss that factory-installed
sunroofs imply.

The local VW dealer says that most Jetta GLIs being shipped here will
have factory sunroofs.  Unfortunately these really cut down on the head
room, so I'll have to order mine without!
