So whats the result? As far as I am concerned, insurance company have the right of refusal to cover you if the sunroof is not part of the car. The main prob is not whether inspection you kena or not. I did mine 12 years ago and went for LTA inspection. The log card will be modified to indicate model and make (sunroof).

That is needed.

Wait..My Car Accident..Hope I Can Get It Done Soon..(Inspection) Got Sunroof..Aiyoh..Insurance Got Cover Meh...? Got...

Contrary to what you think Greg, a Moonroof/Sunroof is a really fun option to have. In fact a Cariolet is very suitable for Singapore.

 

Driving one in the cool evenings is very nice.

When I was driving a Cabrio, I opened my top almost every evening driving home from work.

 

As for my Moonroof, i probably use it around 30% of the time.

As long as it is not too hot and I dont get stuck in traffic, I am very very likely to turn off the aircon, down the windows and the sunroof.

 

Although it's a small opening, it changes the ambience within the car very significantly.

 

You can also have the aircon on while the sunroof is open.

Cool air doesnt rise so your cabin will still feel cool.

Even for a Cabrio, you can do the same.

Down the soft top/hard top but keep all windows up, the aircon can still keep you cool.

 

I would agree that soft top down under the hot afternoon sun is a bit crazy unlike you are at the beach.

 

A sunroof/moonroof certainly makes a car look much better and sportier too.

 

Finally, it allows me to smoke my cigar in the car if really necessary.That's why I specifically ordered my car with a Moonroof and waited 4 months for special delivery and paid additional $5k.

 

In fact, I told the Sales Exec, "no sunroof/moonroof, i wont buy"

 

heh hehh heh

 

(For the records, I've not had any problems regarding leakages, noise etc ...with both my sunroof/moonroof cars)

Well I agree with you that the sunroof does change the 'feel' of the car.... And your car is relatively new, hence, shouldn't be a problem. It is after a few years that the problems start to occur....

 

If smoking is on your agenda, the more 'orifices' you have in yr car, the better..... and best to have a convertible..... but I wouldn't advocate smoking in the car as I read somewhere that besides the smoke smell, other little accidents such as butt burn (in the fabric/leather) marks and ash in the car does not make the car more attractive.......

 

I have a moonroof in my car and use it quite frequently but is it worth the extra $7k? I'm not really sure.....

 

But to each his own..... you earn the money, you spend it......

Your moon-roof extra $7k must be a big car then....

Mine, I willingly paid $5k to get it factory fitted in Belgium.

 

Actually even my 8 year old Honda Civic Hatch didnt have any problems with the factory sunroof. No leakages nor mechanical problems.

 

I dont really smoke in the car.

Just that sometimes, I cant finish my cigar and I gotta go and I dont want to put it out so I continue smoking while in the car. so the moonroof is extra handy.
