I love the factory sunroof in my 65 Notch. I try to use it as much as I can when it's not raining.

We get too much rain for it to be open all of the time. Plus I park it outside, so it's in the weather.

Clatter inspired me to actually use this thing so I took it to the grocery store over the weekend.
Thankfully no one parked next to me.

I grabbed one of the new anthracite emergency brake boots. I will tuck it at some point but I do not want to mess with the floor mats right now.
