Yeah I prefer the glass every time. My grandma's 1997 XJ6 Vanden Plas had a sunroof and I always thought that was odd.

 

I use my sunroofs/moonroofs daily. If it isn't raining, the roof is open.

The only one I've had that was a solid panel was on my 1988 Corolla coupe. It was motorized and would slide back, but did not pop up.

My first one was in my 86 MR2. It had a glass one that would manually pop up for venting, or you could remove it completely. It had mounts to lock it down securely in the front trunk. Man I loved that car.

The best one we have now is the panoramic roof in the Highlander. Really brightens up the interior and opens pretty wide. It has a motorized shade but I have never used it. My Scion tC had a pano roof too, but it was obviously much smaller. I wish my Tundra had a pano roof.

 

Yeah panoramics are nice. I usually have the cover opened when it's not hot. Nice way to get some vitamin D too. Speaking of moonroofs, I read some had them exploded. In particular, there have been incidents on X5 too. I would not be comfortable with this new type of roof they have on iX, just the glass itself, no cover I think. It would shatter right over you. I also read that some after had it tinted, it exploded. Couldn't confirm if it's the tint or the defective roof.

 

Interesting. I can't remember a car with an OEM steel sunroof since the 1980s...maybe early 1990s.

My 1983 Honda Prelude had a power glass sun/moon roof (slide but no tilt); my roommate's 80-something BMW 318 had a steel hand-crank sunroof.

 

As I mentioned above, you can still get a brand new Porsche 911 with one.

 

I would spec that....

 

You have much less extreme temps there on both ends, but when it's nice here I am 100% with ya. It's always open. Like I said in my LS430 it's huge. LX is pretty big too, but yes I'd love pano.

 

I used to constantly use the sunroof but now I don't at all. I appreciate the extra light but will simply drive the convertible and go all-out if I want some unfiltered air and sunlight.

 

I like that I have a convertible option now lol. But I still use my sunroofs all that timmmme..

 

Way out of my price range but I might like that instead of the Targa top.

Welp, I drove today with my Sunroof open.

1st time ever since owning the car and it was ok, lets lots more air in which is nice cuz I roll the window down when I smoke.
Only problem is I forgot to close it when I went into the store and didn't realize, kinda felt like leaving the house with the front door open! oops lol

PS- since I don;t drive at night it feels wierd calling it a moonroof when it's sunny out so I'm gonna call it a sun roof even tho it's not, sounds better. lol

 

You've NEVER used your sunroof???

I used to ash out of them when I smoked, a million years ago. Better than cracking windows, for me at least.

 

Brilliant plate. "GOTMYLX"

 

Thats awesome

I really like the LEXUS out back in place of the logo

 

I have already seen some folks replacing their with LEXUS on older models on Instagram. Need to find where I saw that.

I like it, but I also like the simplicity of the logo.

 

I like the Lexus logo better.
