        What's the difference between Moonroof and Sunroof? A sunroof is an operable metal panel in a car roof that slides back to let in light and air. A moonroof is a similar panel, but its panel is made of glass and can let light in even when closed. The term 'moonroof' was coined by Ford in the 70s but is now u...

          I can go on the internet and pull up something that says something else.

          Moonroof is a type of sunroof. A sunroof is a panel that slides open and lets light in etc. A moon roof does the same thing, except it glass and transparent..

          Either way, like I said. My metal panel is a sunroof, and will refer to ir as such from now on.

              Horrible analogy. You can't open an entire room to let sun/moon light in. Those have two completely different purposes.

              And it's great!! The weather is awesome, beach is close, girls are good looking and more plentiful, I live on my own, I like my classes, and I have an e30.

                Well I'm not the best at analogies haha! I always get told that.

                  this is why i bitch.
                  the E30 moonroof is very rare and very expensive

                  if you had a car with one i would be very impressed.

                  you have the typical sunroof, and yes the moonroof is a subset of a sunroof, not a super-set. all reputable sources will tell you that Ford in the 70s made up the moonroof and coined it. it's a glass sunroof that opens and sides.

                    So it is settled. A moon roof is a sun roof.

                    In the e30 world the sun roof refers to metal panel and moon roof refers to glass panel.

                    I has metal.

                        Moonroof = Sunroof
                        Sunroof ≠ Moonroof

                          In the installation manual it's called the "Saratoga Sunroof" by BMW. There are 2 sizes, one standard and one that's 2mm smaller. This is described on page 2 of the PDF linked below.

                          If you can get either version it's absolutely worth it. It is hands down my favorite mod. The tint is even dark enough where you don't bake in the sun.
