I've got an SE, so the pop-up sunroof came installed.
Negative points:
- The noise of the roof rack combined with the rack fairing makes it quite loud in the cabin when the sunroof is open.
- The sunroof is not easily taken out. It requires removal of two screws and removal of the front roof rack fairing.
- Using roof mounted off road lights causes the entire cabin to be lit up as bright as turning on the map lights.
- The gear basket and sunroof cannot be used at the same time.
- The rack fairing covers up 3/4 of the sunroof anyway - requiring a
fairing mod to let in more light.
Positive points:
- It does increase airflow into the cabin.
- Increases resale value
- It's cool to look up at the F-18 jets at Miramar, CA as they fly overhead.
- Sunny California rays enter the cabin.
- Another way out if I have one of those SUV rollovers.
All that said - I like mine, but wouldn't really miss it if it wasn't there. I don't think I would go out of my way to put one in.
If you do put a power moon roof in, I'd be interested in seeing the pictures.
Good Luck,
