Do you regret the panoramic sun roof

[fokkerlit]

Love it and my kids do as well, feels so spacious and it has much better heat reflection than any car I have previously driven. Too bad the glue is of mediocre quality, but I trust that Ford gets that sorted through the recall. Just annoying that I probably have to miss my car for a few days or so.

My son is 4yo and always complained about the sun in my old sunroof that I always had to have it closed (too bright). He hasn't complained once about the sun now that there is an entire glass roof.

No regrets for me. I live in a really hot part of the country, and I bought a shade for it but never used it.

I'm the guy who would also keep the shade closed on my sunroof and never opened it, too.

Same. I didn't want the pano roof, but mostly because I'm afraid of chips and cracks.

I don't get any heat from it, and it actually does not let in that much light, especially compared to a sunroof. Even my "normal" sized sunroof lets in a LOT more light, which is why I always keep my sunroof shade closed, too.

As long as it doesn't chip, I recommend getting the pano roof!

Hello fellow Tampa Mach E owner!

Hiya...see you on the road! Actually I've only seen one other Mach-e thus far around here, months before I got mine.

My only regret about the Panoramic Sun Roof is that it does not come far enough forward for me to look thru it without tilting my head up!

My complaint is with the lack of UV/light filtering on the windows and windshield. working on getting tint/UV protection added soon

Windshield is coated, although I’m sure you could make it better. The side windows most definitely aren’t. When I had my tint installed it made a huge difference.

I did this too with ceramic tint on the driver's and passenger's side front windows.

I have the glass roof and no issues and I would buy it again even if it needs to be removed and re-installed.

Might be a model dependant. All windows , including the panoramic roof on my FE blocks all UV.
My daughter has photochromic glasses that darkens when exposed to UV, and in the car they are as clear as being indoors.

So, I have the "special" glasses that are supposed to tint inside the car, normal photochromic glasses won't tint inside a car. It has to be direct UV light, side windows don't provide that type of lighting, even for the special "in car" tinting glasses.

My wife's Hyundai has ceramic tint as, but the windshield is not coated at all. My glasses won't darken at all unless the sun is low in the sky and hitting me in the face, then it will tint a little, maybe half the darkness. Otherwise my glasses are also clear in her car as well.

I'm sure the glass has some level of UV protection, but I don't think its anywhere as good as what it could be with after market.

Ya that is strange. I often forget it's there because of that. But, I like it that way.

Yeah, the sun burns my arm when its low on the horizon. Do you know if the back windows filter UV or is it just a normal tint?

To my knowledge, all the lower windows are just tint. They don’t offer any type of heat rejection.
