2. Is the car louder than other non-sunroof or "standard" sunroof cars when the Cali roof is closed?

3. What is the headroom cost with the Cali roof as compared with no sunroof and standard sunroof?

Anything else I should be wondering about the Cali sunroof?

thanks!

1. Depends. There is a gear that can break which is not available.
2. It's has a big hole in the roof. A 98+ may be a little quieter than an earlier model.
3. From what I remember, there is a little more headroom I think.
