There’s a reason you struggle with the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof—they’re almost identical. A moonroof is a type of sunroof made of glass that isn’t removable. It either tilts or slides to let air and is tinted to prevent the sun from beaming down. In most cases, it also has a sliding panel that matches the interior of the car, which blocks out all sunlight.
A sunroof, on the other hand, is a piece of glass or metal that either tilts or is removable. In most cases, it does not slide back like a moonroof.
That said, these terms are often used interchangeably, which adds to the confusion between the two. If you’re confused when you’re buying a new car
, ask the salesman what the difference is or take a test drive to see for yourself. Once you’ve settled the moonroof vs. sunroof debate, the next step is to find the car you want and shop around for car insurance with the Jerry
