You have that backwards.

Moonroof = glass. Sunroof = metal.

a moon roof goes inside so it looks like you just have a hole on the roof..............while a sun roof slides out so everyone can see the glass when its fully open! eg's and dc2 has sunroof while ek's have moon roofs

No, that is not at all true. It may be what you want to do, but that doesn't make it true.

No that is true, moonroof goes back into the roof and is not visable when open.. Sunroof goes back ontop of the roof where it is visible when its open.

No, that is not true at all. A sunroof is ANY type of sliding roof panel. Doesn't matter if it slides over, in, upside down, or does a [freak]ing cartwheel. A moonroof is a special type of sunroof that happens to be made of (often tinted) glass.

What you schmucks think is a "sunroof" is a spoiler-type sunroof. What you think is a "moonroof" is an inbuilt-type.

Have a nice day.

thank you for this thread.. i can't believe this is happening. take your car to a shop, and tell them. purchase the parts for it, and have them install it. why would you ask people such a question? i mean honestly... someone lock this thread so it never comes back up please!

just cut the whole roof off. you'll be able to see the sun and the moon when the time is right.

Good god...seriously?

i thought the only diffrence is that one moves and uncovers the majority of the opening, and the other just moves up

Just put your car in a blender and eat it. Or hit up "mad mike" over at GAS, They'll give you a sun AND a moon roof, each equiped with an aquarium and 80 1 inch by 2 inch transparent tv monitors with the same xibit video looping for hours
