OK, a sunroof is metal or fabric that is opened to allow passage of light or air; such as the old VW cloth top. A moon roof is glas or plastic that allows passage of light at all times and can be opened to allow air flow.

That's easy. It just depends on what time it is. :thinking: :lol: Hmmm, I think that's been said already. So the answer must be correct. ;)

Okay, got it...

How high are you planning on opening the hatch? 65 degrees? 70 degrees?

Exterior finish? Aluminum?
