Default Panoramic roof

Can any of you tell me if the panoramic roof is hotter in the car? I live in the Southwest where the sun shines and most days in the summer are over 100. I am concerned about the heat buildup in the car....

Thanks!

Yes, it does heat up the car a little but no more than the regular sun roof. The good thing about the pano roof is the auto open/close feature. If it gets too warm just push a button and it closes.

A lot of people put on a tint of some sort with a high heat rejection rating on the pano roofs, not necessarily Lexus specific. If you're looking for a very light colored or almost clear tint, check out 3M Crystalline tints
