Last year I ordered a 2020 F150 and initially I was going to order a sunroof. However after watching several KZitem videos where people also encountered problems with their sunroofs, I decided not to order a sunroof. I also notice that the aftermarket offers the brackets for the sunroof which sent a red flag to me. After watching your video you have confirmed that I made the right choice!

I have it on my Audi SQ5 and I also had it on my previous car (Ford Escape SEL), it looks great but on my Audi the sunshade broke because of the florida heat and Audi charges $2,000 just to replace that very thin shade, that is like a very cheap curtain. So I didn't replace it, but need to find alternatives or i would bake in the summer, big time, without a shade. The sunshade was way better on my (twice cheaper) Ford Escape, the shade was rigid and way less fragile, never broke. Moonroof is nice for the rear passengers, the driver doesn't really enjoy it as you're looking in front of you (hopefully) when driving.

You can fix your sunroof yourself for $160. Buy the rails from the dealer, take off the sunroof via 6 bolts, remove both rails via 3 screws on each side. Problem solved. 1 hour of work. Note that you have to re program the sunroof once installed which is simple and can find on KZitem.

A good ceramic would definitely help. Ceramic tints reflect uv rays away from the vehicle instead of being absorbed into the glass. When UV rays are absorbed by the windows it turns into heat. With the tint its reflected away lowering the amount of UV being absorbed which in turn reduced the amount of heat produced.

Sunroofs were the original alternatives to full convertibles, and the key difference is that a sunroof was a *non-glass*(cloth, vinyl, or matching roof sheetmetal) section that tilted and/or slid open for air and daylight. Moonroofs are glass, and nearly all have a separate shade when no daylight is desired(or one just wants as 'normal' looking a car overhead as possible). ;)

Any temperature comparisons using the coldest AC setting? Which last longer? How does 120° weather handles ? It’s alot to spend on that roof which we drivers don’t enjoy while driving just our kids.

Their sunroofs will give you problems,save the $1,500 option and expensive trips to the dealership if you’re keeping your truck.

A sunroof is glass. You can see through it. A moon roof is not. It's just a movable body panel. Older Volvo's and merc's had em a lot. At least that's what I was told at one time. I could be wrong... Also. They typically can't just pull it out and replace the bracket because it's all one piece. Once it's put together. It can't really be taken apart. The brackets are built around the glass. It just makes installation easier in the factory. It accounts for minor discrepancies between vehicles. Wile keeping the whole thing aligned. If it gets out of alignment. That's when you get leaks.

Hello, I'm about to buy an Audi with a glass roof - what about safety with the glass roof? in an accident? Do the parts hold together in the event of a crack or does the pane fall into pieces? Here I would be most afraid that an object could get through the window from above (in an accident) and fall on my head as a passenger. What is it like driving at high speed, can you hear a whistle? And is it warmer in summer than in winter? The roof is only made of glass and - if I've seen it correctly - only has a thin sun visor underneath. I would only take the roof so that it is lighter in the interior, as my equipment is completely black, but I have concerns, mainly because of the technical defects.

Looking at Santa Fe's, and higher trims come with a panoramic sun roof... and I don't think I want the sunroof. Mainly because when we pack up the family to go camping we use a roof bag for extra storage... and because it's a soft bag, not a rigid box, it sits down on the roof itself, rather than riding up on the roof racks. On our current old beater of a car I dont mind it... but I really don't think it'd be smart to load a roof bag up onto a glass roof...?
