No problems, makes the ambient lighting in the car so much better even if you dont have it open. No leaks, good airflow, looks great... Id get it again.

1. Nope
2. Of course
3. Good. I can get by just having my windows down and the sunroof open during summer except for the super hot days, over 100.
4. Nope. Just that I hate winter since I can't open it.

come to think of it, almost every vehicle I have owned had a sunroof....I say better to get it than wish you had it...quieter airflow on highway compared to rolling windows down, probably nicer for passengers in back seat??? just a guess...and gives you a way to look for those airplanes that clock your speed on the 4-lanes!!!

1. does yours leak? No

2. is it worth the view? Meh. Not really IMO. Does make the light a little better

3. hows the airflow? Fine I guess.

4. any other problems? Many. Rattles like no other. It's definitely not worth the weight it adds to the car. I auto-x and road race and 3 times now the frame of the sunroof has ended up bent so now the sunroof rattles like crazy and I hate it. The damn button trim likes to break and fall off. This is the first and last car I'll ever own with a sunroof.

this is my first car that has a sunroof, and i love it. no leaks, no funny sounds, and it's perfect for that short drive where the ac doesn't have a chance to cool the car down yet.

This is the first car I've had with a sunroof, and honestly I could never see buying a car without one again.

The only complaint I have about it is that the opening switch is single position. You have to hold it down to open the roof. It should have been a two stage switch, like the drivers window, so that when you fully depress it the sunroof automatically fully opens.

3 years and 18,500 miles,

1. doesn't leak and has never leaked

2. Great view, nicely tinted

3. Good airflow cracked or fully open, a little shorter than i would like but its not a big deal

4. Used to a jetta sunroof that retracted into the roof giving about 3 inches or more space and had a dial for positions and opening/closing, i don't like the button setup as much especially since its not automatic open or close. (and the bezel around the button falls off)

1.) Never leaked.
2.) Love the view. I always have my sunshade retracted (unless I'm parked).
3.) Airflow is good. Doesn't really mess up my hair (hairspray).
4.) It's one of the biggest sunroofs around. I always have mine vented, or fully open.
I LOVE IT! I will not own a car w/ out one ever again. I do wish that it was automatic open & close, but that is minor. Also my bezel falls out occasionally. Also the switch doesn't want to vent sometimes.
