I use my sunroof in conjunction with the electric sliding rear window so it is opened and closed frequently. I get amazing ventilation without the need to use A/C.
Just by venting the sunroof and opening the rear slider you get a nice airflow! We are already getting 90 degree temps and I haven’t felt the need to use the AC yet either!!

yes that little rear window is amazing how it pulls the air through!

I had to track down a Lariat with sunroof being in SoCal, no loss of headroom ha. It’s like a safari truck with everything open ha — love that the rear door windows open fully too!

It looked like water drips on back edge of glass, I’ll pop it up and check seal and drain etc

I think it is wise to be aware of the environment where you park, especially if leaving the sunroof open. I avoid areas where tree droppings may collect on the vehicle (even when roof is closed). It's always a good idea to keep Roof closed in high pollen and dusty conditions and to inspect the drains from time to time. I delay opening the roof and rear window when tree or other debris has fallen in the bed when driving until it has been cleaned out.

The only thing I appreciate about sunroofs is. You can usually raise the back to the vent position and get nice even air flow throughout the car with one window open.
I wonder why some of the manufacturers have always called these windows "Moon Roof". On previous vehicles I have left them cracked open all the time except in heavy rain as an aid to ventilation. In this new Mav, with the remote opening rear window, I find the roof window unnecessary for that purpose particularly true as it makes more noise.

Most of time have shade cover pulled, nice in morning or evening etc. I wouldn’t of ordered one with, but tired of waiting over a yr and a dealer had this Tremor on internet, so just went for it
