Panoramic Moon Roof..Good idea or asking for trouble?

[Malenursewtx]

I really like the sunroof and I use it daily. My 1st vehicle was an 81 Jeep Scrambler and I liked the open air feel.

I had a broken track after about 9 months. The dealer fixed it in under a day. There are YouTube videos on how to fix it yourself. It would probably be about $150 in parts.

My sunshade makes a clicking noise as it goes in and out. If I was out of warranty, I would just let it be.

It is important to clean and grease the seals on them every 6 months or less. My dealer did not do it when I had my oil changed.

I’m still happy that I bought it. Thus far the positives outweigh the negatives for me. It really comes down to personal preference, just realize that it may not be 100% issue free.

Is there a video on you to clean and grease the seals?

This is a good start. I found that by venting and opening the sunroof, I could get to almost all of the sealing surfaces. I cleaned/greased all the way around the glass and the opposite surfaces. Each position provides access to different seals.

Lubing it solved rattling issues with my sunroof.

If I need the sun, I'll drive the convertible

I LOVE mine too. I will say in the Arizona heat and sun, it's only open half the year. I use the vent feature in the garage. I think it helps to move air around. It's truly awesome in our winters. Great light, air moving.

I'll say it again....I think I got a good one. NO issues, no noise, no rattles.

I really don't mind mine at all. I have 106xxx kms on the clock and no issues other than occasional creaking in -40C temps. I usually leave the sunshade open as it provides a ton of light.

I also love mine, 16k in. On Saturday it survived some golf ball sized hail on the highway.

I use mine every morning and enjoy having it. . The kids like to open the shade when its raining or at night to see the sky. No issues after two years but I do think it needs some lubrication now, and maybe a track cleaning

How did the aluminum hold up?

No scratches or dents! We were towing our airstream and I was also concerned about its solar panels, but we were fine all around.
