utility of sun roof ???

[Mpower]

I would never open the sunroof during the day when it hot and dusty and full of traffic. But on a cool summer night when you are cruising the blvd, its a great feeling to feel the wind and see the starts. Basically, I would use it as a moonroof.

I dunno about this coz I'm not a great sun-roof fan..! Whether the glass can come out of its rubber frame is not known since the sun roof on my friend's was intact and slightly open. The vehicle didn't sport any signs of break-in like smashed glasses etc.

Hence the surmise after finding the sun-roof slightly ajar was that it was slid back using some device and the person enetered from there, did the cleanup, came out the same way and then shut the roof. Now the police (sleuths) deducted that this could have been possible using that device that I mentioned in my earlier post.

You mean to say that glass can come out with it's rubber frame mount? Without creating any damage?

The sunroof can be used (ofcourse in suitable weather) if you are cruising on supposedly highway and you don't need to open the windows and deaf'en your ears. Factory fit is the best - nodoubt about it

Why, sunroof doesn't deafen the years? Does it have some sound filter ?

I had this Mercury Sable LS Wagon with both moon roof and sliding sun roof. Trust me its fun in cool weather. Used the moon roof once in a while. I lived in Bay Area during that time, so all my exp is w.r.t that locality.

I really loved it during spring, when the weather is on the pleasant side, turn off Air Con and have fun. Summer nights are also a good candidate.

You dont want Sunroof to be open in city traffic. I am sure you'll love it while driving in the outskirts of the city. I never used it on high way so dont know how it feels.

Short drives in the vicinity after dinner were not bad either.

If you drive with sunroof open and also frequent busy roads used by Local Buses like BTS in bangalore , beware of chewed Paan and spit entering your car through sun roof.

Cleaning red paan stains off your beige leather interior can be a very painful experience.

Having a sunroof is fun. The usefulness, is not much countable.

And fitting a normal pop up will also give you some fun.

It also comes with some trouble too. We had an Astra club which had webasto sunroof. It started to leak after 3years. And the worst part was that the service of those were not commendable either. There's some other problems like breaking, cracking etc..

My car came with a sunroof. While I dont see any real practical use for this roof, I have found on occasion that the car can cool much faster with the sunroof open esp after a hot day. However the sunroof does make the car look nice esp if it also has headlight washers and other cool looking gizmos.
