Not a fan of that.
Ugly, noisy and that wind deflector!
Not sure what was wrong with a standard sunroof.
I love a sunroof for the light and air but I would not order that. :cry:

Isn't that what the windbreak is for?

its the wind break that causes the noise,i think its there to stop anything from entering the car e.g flies, hence the reason it traps so many :smiley:

It's just to prevent the turbulence in the cabin, same as if you open the window and then your hair goes all over the place...(if you have any hair that is).  It shouldn't cause any more noise, it will be no more or less noisy than any other sunroof or window for that matter.

speaking from experience as I have one on my sharan it is noisy more so than any other car I have been in with a sunroof.Also I wouldn't recommend you have it open at high speed . :wink:

I agree, high speed not recommended.  I won't be taking it over 30 with it open.  Last car I had a sunroof on over 30 it would start to resonate the whole roof.  But stick to low speeds and there should be little noise I'd expect?

Does the one on the Sharan go outside the body when it's open like the mk7?

Yes it looks to be the same roof,the only difference is on the sharan you get another fixed glass panel that is behind the one that moves,effectively it's twice the size .
