If absolute unconditional love of all sunroof types is your sole criteria for whoās fun at a party then I should hang my head in shame and make a hasty exit at the next party I attend when the topic of conversation shifts to sunroofs. ? If youāre there Iāll hold the door for you since youāre not completely committed to a Bronco type setup.We were also planning to hold off for the removable roof, unlike some in this thread that HATE HATE HATE sunroofs and I'm sure are super fun at parties. I guess I'd have to think long and hard about if driving around with a multi-piece, Bronco-esque solid plastic roof 90% of the time would be worth the topless 10%. I agree that Ford's operable panoramic unit will likely be best in class.
Seriously, I LOVE LOVE LOVE sunroofs to the point that I havenāt bought a new car with a metal roof and without a sunroof since 2001. Iāve had experience with a removable panel type sunroof and have no interest in another setup like that in anything other than a sports car. Weāve done enough bumpy off-roading that our 2006 Land Roverās operable sunroof rattles like crazy most of the time off-road and way more than Iād like on-road. For a vehicle that weāre going to take off-road Iām totally fine with Rivianās solid glass roof, assuming that they donāt do what you experienced with your Tesla.
My ideal sunroof for an off-roader would be a lightly-tinted one-piece glass panel with UV and IR filtering plus a power sunshade. My ideal for an on-pavement car sunroof is a giant glass panoramic type with power vent and open plus a power sunshade.
