sunroof or moonroof?

[swyn]

I read in the forum, some people said they have sunroof on their car and some people have the moonroof. I thought that ALL 7th gen Celica has the same roof? sunroof or moonroof? are they different and whats the different?

I think toyota calls it a moonroof. Most people just know it as a sun roof. Correct me if I'm wrong.

same roof

i think most Members call it by when they use it the most

being in Kali, I call it Sun Roof :werd:

during the day i call it a sunroof, and at night i call it a moon roof... this should be the same for you unless you live in alaska

:werd: I call it a moonroof personally. I think the difference is the cover on it or something.

Moonroof = glass
Sunroof = metal

interesting...I was pretty sure that a sunroof popped out of the car, and a moon roof retracted into the roof.

Toyota officially calls it " -Power tilt/slide moonroof with retained power and sunshade "

"Sunroof" is the generic term used to describe an operable panel in a vehicle roof which can let in light and/or air. "Moonroof" is a term created by Ford in the 70s, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs.

Hmmm, so all moonroofs are sunroofs, yet not all sunroofs are moonroofs? We found further clarification -- "sunroof" is the term originally used to describe a metal panel that would only allow light or air in when opened. A "moonroof," on the other hand, is a glass panel that can allow light in even when it is closed (provided, of course, you slide back that nifty fabric-covered panel to expose the glass).

True sunroofs, those made just of metal, appear to have gone the way of 8-tracks in automobiles, and these days, most "sunroofs" are really "moonroofs" -- panels of tempered glass, usually tinted, that tilt up to allow a flow of air, or slide back into the roof entirely, giving the car occupants a brief but tantalizing glimpse of life in a convertible.

Seems like our friendly salesperson wasn't telling us quite the whole story...

got it from google.
