Panoramic Roof (Glass Roof)

It makes the cabin brighter and feel more spacious. Most have an electric or manual sunblind to reduce heat and glare. Fixed versions do not open; others combine fixed and moving panels. Cleaning the drains and lubricating the sliding mechanism with suitable products helps prevent problems.

Large tinted glass panels are bonded into a frame in the roof structure, with seals and drain channels around the opening parts.

Blocked drain tubes are a common cause of water leaks into the headlining or footwells. The glass can add heat in summer and some weight high up in the car.
