i always thought that the sun roof was painted the body color exp the 4th gen prelude and the moon roof was like on 6th gen civics.

a sunroof is one that can be raised or moved, while a moonroof is stationary and clear, maybe? correct me if i am wrong

Moon roof/sun roof

I'm allmost positive a moon roof is the kind of electronic or slide one that comes so theres a big hole in your roof it looks like. The sun roof is the one that just pops up and lets a lil crack of air come through. At least thats what I thought.

A moonroof is made of glass, and can be opened full or just tilted up. A sunroof is not made of glass, and can also be opened wide or tilted up.

Either that or I got them backwards.

Usually, the two terms are used interchangeably.

Sunroof is the generic term used to describe an operable panel in a vehicle roof which can let in light and/or air. Moonroof is a term created by Ford in the 70's, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs.

Yup. Thats exactley what I was trying to say.

I think when you look up prices on cars at kbb.com they actually separate them out, you can check if you have a moon roof or a sun roof. I think a moon roof cannot tilt up and a sun roof can...

a sunroof is usually removable, kind of like a t-top on a camaro or a trans-am...a moonroof isn't removable, but it tilts up, like a sunroof, and slides all the way back like in our si's.
