There are several types of sunroof

The sunroof (also called the moonroof) is a piece of automotive glass that is fitted into the roof of your vehicle, and its main function is to let light and fresh air come into the cabin area. Sunroofs can usually be opened to some extent – some can simply be tilted a little to allow in air, others can be retracted totally to leave a larger open area. Whether they are transparent or opaque, manually or electrically-operated, they are a feature that adds to driver and passenger comfort and convenience. Here are just a few of the variants available:

A pop-up sunroof is the traditional type, and has been around for a long time. It is a pane of glass, with a mechanism (manual or electric-powered) that allows it to be tilted upwards to allow air in. Most of this type of sunroof is also totally removable.

A sliding sunroof is a development of the pop-up version. This can be tilted, and then the pane can slide back, leaving the area open to the sky. This type of sunroof either slides into the roof space (between the roof and the head liner), or is fitted onto tracks on top of the roof, which gives improved headroom inside the vehicle.

A panoramic sunroof is a more recent and ingenious development – it is made up of several panes, which enable it to open much further than a standard sliding sunroof. This type of sunroof is often also referred to as a moonroof, and as each pane slides back, it is stacked against the next one. Depending upon the design, the moonroof can usually open up both the front and the back-cabin areas, providing fresh air in abundance and the feeling of riding in a convertible.

A solar sunroof has a pane of glass which is actually a solar panel, complete with photovoltaic solar cells. This opaque panel produces electricity which can be used within the vehicle to help to power some of the features. Electric and hybrid electric vehicles are become ever more commonplace, and therefore this type of sunroof is being seen more often.

Whichever type of sunroof or moonroof you have, it is important that when you need the glass replaced, it is carried out properly. If it’s not fitted correctly, or if the materials used are not of the appropriate quality, you could be left with a leak, and an insecure vehicle. Don’t take a risk – get your sunroof glass replaced by an automotive glass expert from the myWindshield network.
