afaik, wala sa aguila, they dont do sunroofs.

[mhervin16]

nagpunta ako sa aguila, ndi nga daw sila gumagawa nun. wind shield lang daw, pero sunroof hindi. yung binilan ko ng auto, naglaho na parang bula, dina nagparamdam. pero hintay ko pa din update nya. konsensya na lang at karma yan.. (hehe) joke lang.. pero sabi sa aguila ndi naman daw un basta babagsak o mababasag, hindi rin daw mag leleak kasi nka laminate daw un at may plastik sa loob, kya as of now, tigil muna ako sa paghahanap.. kung may makita aksidente or may magbigay senyo ng tips.. i appreciate.. :D ty

Apologies for reviving an older thread, but my policy has always been: Search before clogging up forums with new repeat threads! :D

Ever since driving a car with a sunroof(moonroof) in 2009, I cannot go back to driving without!

First, I would like to iterate what I do know about the moonroof situation in the Philippines:

1. Extreeeemely unpopular.

2. Some auto manufacturers, whom I have contacted directly, won't even market sunroofs or export cars with them to Philippines, due to this low demand.

The reasons for this, which I have heard from within Philippines and without:

1. "It's a hot country"

2. "They leak moisture after a while"

3. As related to #2. steep tropical sun angle warps the stripping/ molding around the sunroof glass.

4. Easy vehicle theft.

Despite all of the above, I still, as the saying goes, 'want what I want', and am willing to wait any amount of time for the right combination of mileage, features, and price, for a vehicle with the overhead glass.

To the first reason: "Hot country". Which exactly why you want an opening up top: Heat escapes upward, especially after parked in a hot parking lot all day.

As for personal reasons, when I discovered the sunroof culture, I quickly embraced the airy, bright, open feeling of a car with the top open.

Also, I would be spending most time driving above 1,000 meters, with occasional time spent in Manila and other lowland areas.

So my questions are:

What is the sunroof/moonroof situation in the Philippines in the 2020s, vs back when this thread was put up?

And, what are my prospects for finding such a vehicle in the Philippines, in the 2020s? I'm not looking for brand new. It can be 5-10 years old, 50,000 up to 100,000km on the clock is ok.

Paumanhin para sa muling pagbuhay ng isang mas lumang thread, ngunit ang aking patakaran ay palaging: Maghanap bago magbara ng mga forum gamit ang mga bagong paulit-ulit na thread! :D

Mula nang magmaneho ng kotse na may sunroof(moonroof) noong 2009, hindi na ako makakabalik sa pagmamaneho nang wala!

Una, gusto kong ulitin kung ano ang alam ko tungkol sa moonroof na sitwasyon sa Pilipinas:

1. Lubhang hindi sikat.

2. Ang ilang mga tagagawa ng sasakyan, na direktang nakipag-ugnayan sa akin, ay hindi man lang mag-market ng mga sunroof o mag-export ng mga sasakyan sa kanila sa Pilipinas, dahil sa mababang demand na ito.

Ang mga dahilan nito, na narinig ko mula sa loob ng Pilipinas at wala:

1. "Ito ay isang mainit na bansa"

2. "Nag-leak sila ng moisture pagkaraan ng ilang sandali"

3. Tulad ng nauugnay sa #2. Ang matarik na tropikal na anggulo ng araw ay nagpapaikut-ikot sa pagtatalop/paghubog sa paligid ng sunroof glass.

4. Madaling pagnanakaw ng sasakyan.

Sa kabila ng lahat ng nasa itaas, ako pa rin, gaya ng sinasabi, 'gusto ko ang gusto ko', at handa akong maghintay ng anumang oras para sa tamang kumbinasyon ng mileage, mga tampok, at presyo, para sa isang sasakyan na may salamin sa itaas.

Sa unang dahilan: "Mainit na bansa". Alin ang eksaktong dahilan kung bakit gusto mo ng pagbubukas sa itaas: Ang init ay tumakas paitaas, lalo na pagkatapos na nakaparada sa isang mainit na paradahan sa buong araw.

Para sa mga personal na dahilan, nang matuklasan ko ang kultura ng sunroof, mabilis kong niyakap ang maaliwalas, maliwanag, bukas na pakiramdam ng isang kotse na nakabukas ang tuktok.

Gayundin, gugugulin ko ang pinakamaraming oras sa pagmamaneho nang higit sa 1,000 metro, na may paminsan-minsang oras na ginugugol sa Maynila at iba pang mababang lugar.

Kaya ang mga tanong ko ay:

Ano ang sitwasyon ng sunroof/moonroof sa Pilipinas noong 2020s, vs noong inilagay ang thread na ito?

At, ano ang aking mga prospect para sa paghahanap ng ganitong sasakyan sa Pilipinas, sa 2020s? Hindi ako naghahanap ng brand new. Pwedeng 5-10 years old, 50,000 up to 100,000km on the clock is ok.

^ sunroofs, moonroofs, or panoramic sunroofs ( as they're marketed here) are no longer novelty car features in the local motoring market in recent years. although, they're usually sold as standard fare only on SUVs or on top tier MPVs. it's also an oem amenity on some late model midsized sedans like camrys, sonatas, accords, etc

[dr. d]

what i do not like about sunroof,
"it wreaks havoc on the aircon."
heh heh.

i can imagine in temperate countries, where sunlight is at a premium at certain times of the year, hence sunroofs.

but yes,
it really depends on what one wants to experience.

[shadow]

Never ko nagamit sa akin, yun leak naman usually it's beacuse of lack of maintenance, nagbabaea yun drain.

And tama si *baludoy ordinary na lang moonroof ngayon. If it's comes with he car then ok if wala Ok pa din.

By the way, and this is something that fails to register in my original country, but the difference between the terms 'sun'roof and 'moon'roof is simply the material from which the operating panel is made!

As seen from above, on a car with a sunroof, the opening part is of matching material, ie: metal, with color matching the car body.

With a moonroof, the material is typically glass, with 5-20 percent tinting. A moonroof will normally possess a second sliding element underneath - a sunshade - when no daylight is desired.

Isn't that a historical artifact nowadays? Nobody is selling a car with an opaque sunroof anymore, and some do without the movable headliner element.

Opaque might exist, but I'm referring to a sliding open panel of the same material as the rest of the roof - metal. Look at any 1980s Benz, BMW or Volvo.
You are correct that such pure 'sunroof' did not have a second shade panel, as the solid roof section served as the shade itself.

Trying to explain this to fellow staters is almost moot, lol!

There was this interesting exchange on the topic on the opposite-lock forums: Remember when cars had metal sunroofs? | Come for the cars, stay for the anarchy
