Turbo Electric Sunroof Picture

[frached]

Can anyone confirm? I have never seen a Turbo with an electric sunroof, until now. wondering if anyone else here has seen one and can confirm this looks correct?

Golde made an electric version of the sunroof familiar in our cars.  It was offered on some early Porsche 911 models.  Not sure about that one...

Don't know if it was a specific option on the Turbo, but was available, perhaps on the Lux cars. IIRC the same parts as on the CS Coupes.

 

I would venture it was a similar accessory as the headlight wipers, rear fog light, and radio options.

The standard metal sunroof frame (made by Golde) has a place to accept the optional motor mounting bracket.  At least my 69 2002 is this way (standard crank but no electric feature).

I have a 1973 tii with factory electric sunroof in original unrestored condition, that switch looks slightly different to mine. Also mine has a full-width zipper in the headlining which, when opened reveals a two-piece hardboard cover for the mechanism. There is a large flat-blade screwdriver slot that enables manual operation of the roof (where the handle normally pivots on the manual roof ). They obviously didnt judge the electric system as that reliable.....

The motor itself is a bosch part, designed to be safely 'stallable'...it drives the roof through a 90 degree rubber 'universal joint' (for space reasons, motor is mounted perpendicular to where drive is needed). The switch just runs the motor until the roof hits some mechanical limit & stalls the motor....same like you wind the manual handle until it wont go any further.

I will add a pic once it gets light outside...

To be clear this is Not a turbo but a rather crusty '73 tii.... But roofs is roofs I guess.

Unrestored crusty original condition.
