Reply With QuoteA moon roof is tinted glass. A sun roof is sheetmetal.
Is there a difference between a moon roof and a sun roof? I've heard both terms. Additionally, does anyone know how much it costs to get one (or either if they're different things) installed?
sheetmetal? what's the point of having metal there...isn't it just like a regular roof? (i don't really understand)
From the outside, it looks like the regular roof (with the possible exception of weatherstripping), sure.
The point of having a metal sunroof is that it opens up to see sky above you. You can't do that with a regular roof, unless you carry a sawzall at the ready when you're driving....
a sunroof/moonroof combo is a glass panel with a seperate retractable cover inside

huh? i thought sun roof just pops up and a moon roof slids back (all the way open) and pops up.

When you look up at a moon roof you'll see a pair of butt cheeks imprinted on the glass.

mines got the power tinted glass/sliding cover inside. Dealer said it was a moonroof, but everyone looks at me funny when i say moonroof, so I jus call it a sunroof...
I was taught the other way around. A sunroof is glass, sometimes removable, and can slide back manual or electric. Some pop up, and don't slide, but can be removed.Originally Posted by DarquePervert
A moon roof is just a cutout in the roof that slides back, either electrically or manually, but cannot be removed from the vehicle.
This could be a debate, as people view them or call them differently.
As for cost, that all depends. Type of car, factory vs. aftermarket installation, yada yada. Most of the time, if it is offered as an option by a new car dealer, they job them out to instal shops and soak you for a huge markup.
Way back when I used to work for a Honda/VW/Mitsubishi/Volvo/Mercedes dealer. The sunroofs were jobbed to a local shop, except for the MB's. They came factory with moon roofs. No glass, just metal. This was back in 87-88 and a Benz was a whole different car back then.
