    no no you got it all wrong - a moon roof is for mooning peeps
    a sun roof is for showing off you man hood

    but yea Sunroof = metal pannel, moon roof = glass window
    - but most are both now - Sun roof & moon roof

    What is the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof?
    Sunroof is the generic term used to describe an operable panel in a vehicle roof which can let in light and/or air. Moonroof is a term created by Ford in the 70's, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs.

    I always knew a sunroof as a glass panel, allowing the sun in.... didn't matter if it was the factory type slide back into the roof type, or the pop up aftermarket type.... that's a sunroof

    moonroof is the oposite of sunroof, a metal panel instead of a glass panel..... I remember cadillac claiming there roof to be a sunroof moonroof combo because there was a retractable shade that could be fixed in place to always cover the glass while the roof opened & closed.. making it also act as a moonroof by not exposing the glass....

    bmw's have them both ways, to me the glass panel is the sunroof & the metal panel is the moonroof?
