Sunroofs FAQs
What type of sunroof do I have?
Like any other auto glass in your car or truck, it is important to know what type of sunroof or moonroof is installed in your vehicle so that if it breaks or is damaged, the right parts and glass are re-installed and get you back on the road quickly.
- Pop-up: a panel of glass that tilts upward on a hinge, in which the tilting action provides the ventilation; it can be manual or electric and is usually removable.
- Spoiler: a combination of the pop-up and sliding sunroof, the tilting-up action opens the sunroof and then slides back on a track along the roof; depending on the make of the vehicle, the glass panel will self-store either above the roof or below, between the liner and roof proper.
- Panoramic: a multi-pane moonroof system which tilts and slides open further than a spoiler sunroof because the multiple panes that form one unit when closed, all retract upon slider track and stack against one another when opened; designed to open above both the front and rear cabin of the passenger cabin.
- Solar: opaque sunroof glass inlaid with photovoltaic solar panel cells that power the inner ventilation from stored solar electricity, saving power in the vehicle's battery.
- Top-mount: sliding sunroofs that store along tracks above the roof outside of the vehicle; the advantage of this type of sunroof is the extra headroom inside the car.
