I'm a sunroof fan. I had one in my last truck but my current truck doesn't have one. I miss it! I'm windows down, roof open guy. But I do have the rear sliding window so that's nice too.

I like them, but sooner or later they are going to be trouble if you park near/under trees. I'd likely pick the non-sunroof vehicle if both otherwise equipped the same.

This is the way I look at it, would you buy a $60-70K Mercedes with out a sunroof? Mine has one and I use it when I can.

...and if you`re in an accident ..no protection , flip the car and the sun roof sends a million pieces of glass everywhere. That happened to my sales rep 2 weeks ago.

I f'ing hate the popping POS panoramic roof in my Platinum. Couldn't give me another one. I use the rear slider more than anything. Window down, slider open to eliminate buffeting.

have you tried opening and closing the sunroof? When mine begins to creek and make that “popping” sound that’s what I do and it goes away.

Yes, if I open or just pop the back of the slider up it is as quiet as can be. But it will start popping again as soon as you close it. All of the internet fixes are temporary. Bottom line is it needs to be pulled out and a new frame installed and that ain't happening as long as I own it.

That's because if there is only 1 lemon out of hundreds of vehicles on the lot, it calls out to you to buy me!
