Are those split sunroofs aftermarket? Because I've don't see them on anyone else's Z. They are funny-looking.

Yep, not a stock item. My old 75 280Z had one. They will leak eventually.

Any sunroof is aftermarket. Datsun didn't supply anything like a sunroof until the 280ZX which had t-tops.

So your car has one like this one?

Yes, exatly. They look funny but they are still so cool. I like them because I've never seen them before.

That picture is the roof of my red 240Z. The labels inside mine say "SportTtop". I wish mine didn't have it, but c'est la vie. As these things go, this one appears to be better quality than most.

I can't imagine my car without them

Is it possible to have the sun roof taken out and "filled" by a good body man? I know that would be a whole lot of work and risky, but if it bugs you enough, maybe it's something to look into?

Most body men won't try to piece the roof back together. But they can weld on a complete roof off a donor car. I won't rule that out, but it's not too likely unless I start having leakage issues.

I have a roof if somebody wants it....

I have a set just like them. Had them installed in 1980 and they have yet to see a drop of rain, rubber is still soft and seals tight. I regret putting them in now, but a roof is out of the question although I have really thought about it.

I saw a few 240z years ago with metal "crank back" tops that appeared to be factory. I was a kid but I remember clearly that the sun roofs where metal. Does anyone know if there were a few Z cars with factory roofs?
