who else wants in on this? We gotta get at least 15 people before Rasp will commit to this.

1. HiTMaNN- $90-50 Max
2. photo chick- $100 max.
3. jedi54- $50
4. g3tr3ddy2gr3ddy- "less than 50 for sure" :D
5. laythor (RR never tries to gouge people so whatever price he sets, I'm in)
6. Renesis SE3P - $15 max....I'm no longer a lowballer, it's now 15 max!
7. raizen82-$90 max with the headlight auto on/off module - no headlight module available right now. how much would you pay for the sunroof mod?
8. Zephyrzone - $50 max
9. prospectjtaz - $50, $100 if you can make me one set of White LED footwell lights. just asking. thanks
10. TheWulf - whatever you want just make me one of those 2 line LED clear corners too
11. c0ldf1ame - interested in updates
12. M Theory: Code Red - $10 sounds great to me...but I'd throw down < $50

i think it's a good idea. some ppl have kids and sometimes you might close it and not realize something is blocking the path and this way nothing gets broken. my bmw moonroof has this feature- ie if any object is obstructing the path of it closing, it senses it and re-opens as a fail safe. ie kinda like a kid-safe garage door.

Then you should get one from RR for your 8. That way we'll only need 1 more person.

how exactly is the fail safe working? you added a sensor? if so that would get expensiveeee.. and i'd just take one without the fail safe.

It's current sensing. Anyway, I still wouldn't want to get my finger caught in it. Just like I wouldn't want to stick my hand out my Lexus' auto up windows. If someone is honestly worried about getting injured, don't buy it. I take no responsibility if someone gets hurt.

In the process of getting a group buy approval.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Today, I checked the auto close sunroof in my Infinity. The Infinity's sunroof will stop and auto reverse automatically with something as sensitive as a finger obstructing its path.

My circuit is not that sensitive. It will stop if you get your fist or arm stick in its path, but I'm pretty sure it would still seriously hurt your finger. Also, it doesn't automatically reverse. For this reason, I will keep what minor protection I have already developed, but I cannot state that it has a failsafe feature.

Please update the list if you no longer want to be included in the initial group buy.

I still want that sucker! I don't stick things up out of my sunroof and if any of my friends are dumb enough to do it then they deserve it.

Thats RR, I'm looking forward to this mod!
