so on my gxp with the sunroof on there the headroom is horrendous!... i was just curious has anyone tried a way to get rid of the sunroof and just put a standard roof on the car.. or would that hurt the frame?

Im 6'4" and dont have an issue? Are you 7 ft tall?

i am 6.2 and i dont like how low the roof is if i have a hat on it hits the roof

Maybe and alternate option would be to install a race seat? That would give you full option in mounting seat height. May have to compromise adjustability?

It's possible, won't hurt, A LOT of work.

I'm 6'4", and I've been thinking along the same lines since about a week after I got the car. I was thinking of making it more like a moon roof and just removing the mechanism and cutting up a stock headliner. Another issue that pops up is the side curtain airbag. A telescoping steering wheel would also help.

do you lean back in your seat? that's like the only way i can drive without having the annoyance of my hair hitting the roof.. and im about 5'10

There is no sitting behind me, thats for sure, hefty amount of "gangster lean" Cant even fit a infant car seat. Maybe im just used to it? Def keeping my sunroof though. GL

I'm 6' and don't have an issue... and I don't lean way back... I made sure to adjust the seat all the way down to the floor as far as it will go though...

have you lowered your seat all the way down??

x2 on that question Lew!

I'm not sure how you guys have your drivers seat positioned but I'm 6'5'' and have never had an issue with headroom. Seat's all the way down with no gangsta lean. Even with a hat on I don't have any problems. I actually think the Monte is quite roomy for a coupe.

i have no sunroof

I'm 6'4" and, when I was looking for cars, I looked at several Monte SSs. Each one of them, even with the seat down as far as possible, I kept having my hair rub against the ceiling-fabric. The only way to stop it was to lean the seat back into an uncomfortable position. I ended up getting an Impala SS because it's roof-line is a little higher.

ha ya i do but the problem is i lose some visibility and you have a monte . try the gxp for size..... its been an annoyance since the 3 years Ive had this car for.. im just trying to figure out a way to get around it...

you're asking if you can cut off your sunroof roof panel and replace it with a sold shell and you don't even know what a headliner is? Seriously???

I say go get a sawzall and get to work...be sure to video it, post it up so we can watch....
