Panoramic sunroof?

[fubar.droid]

I live in the southwest where it gets really hot during summer so I'm wondering if the panoramic sunroof is a liability. Anyone have any insight into it? Can I install ceramic tint on it? It doesn't have a cover like a normal sunroof right?

I does have a retractable cover. That should help.

yeas, it has a cover. every video you've seen just has the cover retracted

This video has a LOT of info! The sunroof controls start at 1:07:30, starting with the shade operation.

2 thoughts - the pano roof is standard on US cars. Can you option it off??

Thought 2 is that I'm really impressed on how cool the car stays when it's been sitting in the sun (car's silver), even w/o a windshield sunshade. The shade in the pano roof is great and keeps the car very cool

You cannot option it out, at least not in the US. The configurator makes it seem at first like adding roof rails deletes it but they don't.

Yes I think the existing retractible fabric liner will be enough protection but I did ask my PPF installer about adding a dark tint to the inside of the sunroof glass if needed. He advised against this as there is potentially a risk of excess heat build up in the glass layers and the glass can explode !!

That was the first option I wanted to opt out of ...but not possible.

I live in Scottsdale Arizona which is just outside of Phoenix. The fabric screen does a good enough job reducing the heat load. We have the same setup in an Alfa Romeo Stelvio and it’s been fine for 6+ years. As a side note, we looked at an iX with the all glass roof panel with electronic shading, and while it was interesting, our perception was it got a lot hotter inside the car.

As someone said, it has a retractible shade.

Better, you can order it with double pane windows all around, which lowers the temperature an estimated 10 degrees F (I did, live in Texas, and it's great).
