Mate hope you enjoy the place.I have a sunroof and personally it is a bit louder, but you can close the cover over and it's fine. The only time I notice the noise is on the highway, around town there are no problems whatsoever.I think it also adds to the look of the car, and I would definately order one again.Depends what your preferences are.I ordered 3 things that I would definately order again no question.SunroofPremuim soundLeatherEnjoy your T Watch out for Ken.......

The only thing they are good for is hand signals to drivers behind you Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16052-what-do-ppl-think-of-sunroofs/#findComment-226054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ALWAYS got mine on tilt. Unless you drive with the radio off, you won't notice any extra noise I don't think, and yeah with the interior cover thing closed it's just as quiet as a normal car.Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16052-what-do-ppl-think-of-sunroofs/#findComment-226077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one rough melon you have there. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16052-what-do-ppl-think-of-sunroofs/#findComment-226106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
