Panoramic Sunroof Video
« on: 19 June 2013, 23:19 »
For anyone who's gone for the panoramic sunroof, there's an excellent video showing it in operation here :

Don't think it's been posted before  :smiley:

1: It looks the same size as a regular sunroof from inside the car.
2: How sh!t does that windbreak thing look when the roof is slid back  :undecided:

Mmmmmm.... Nice vid, but I'm not "Sold"... Looks OK overall, but the wind deflector on the front doesn't really do it for me. Funny enough the Pano roof looks better closed than open.

Nice find, i've gone for it although i'm not sure how often i'll have it fully open, that wind break is a bit ugly but it serves a purpose i suppose.

It looks much bigger than a regular size sunroof, and it also looks much better. It's an amazing optional extra that makes the roof a lot more interesting. Even closed it looks much better than the plain, standard roof.

The windbreak doesn't look amazing but it's there for a reason and serves it's purpose. How good can you make a windbreaker look really.

I suppose the only consolation is that it looks a darn sight better than the wind deflector found on the Merc E-Class Cab!!!  :sick:

Getting dead flies out of the wind deflector is going to be a full time occupation. Better get practising...

My X-Trail has the Pano roof and the windbreaker has never needed to be cleaned. The dead bugs just dry up and disintegrate.

I think it looks great and the black roof just sets the car off nicely.

I love the sunroof in my 6 GTI, looking forward to the sunroof in my 7 GTI.  To be honest I don't care what the wind deflector looks like for oncoming drivers, I can't see it but will get the pleasure of the open space (weather permitting  :cool:)  :laugh:
