A little ventilation, but more of a fresh-air feeling, the resonance
of the internal space is affected, or something like that.

A little wind noise when open - I'm going to fool around with some
flow controllers like you see on (older) airliner wings, see if I can
quiet it.

No leaks.

I've gotten quite used to them on my last two cars, always have the
shade open, weather permitting generally have the panel in tilt mode.

Note that with the shade open, you may have *more* headroom than a
plain roof. Of course, with the moonroof all the way open, you can be
really tall, but you may get a crick in your neck.

And you can see the police choppers following you around.

Sarah loves the moonroof and I hate it due to the noise.
When she drives the car by herself--she keeps it open.
When I drive the car by myself--I keep it closed and use the AC.

It is has been the source of lots of arguments.

Just because a car has a moonroof--it does not mean you have to
use it unless you want to use it.

Ok.ewwwwwwww!!
not the "hot sir"... ;{
sorry----that's "hot AIR".

moonroofs are also good for those cooler thimes of the year when it just
feels good to let in fresh air while not blasting it in with the windows
down.

Maybe it's good for venting both the hot sir and the hot madam while
parking.
In a secluded spot,that is.

The only problem I've had with the moon roof on my 98 Civic is that the
hot S. Florida sun is rotting out the sliding door for the moon roof.

Yeah, I almost went there with that, but oh well. You got the idea. ;}

I dunno, but did you check out "George Macdonald"'s advice (3rd post down in
this thread), saying something about putting on some silicone spray on it?
