View Full Version : panoramic moon roof and cold weather
Fujiz_xb 01-16-2005, 04:58 AM Okay so my fav mod currently is my panoramic moon roof. Unfortunately somehow water seems to build up and and it freezes on the outside due to the cold weather. On the inside its the same story only that its n0t that bad.
when i close the door or hit a bump it makes this noise as if its going to break. Im am so paranoid.
I bought rain-x for the interior and exterior. I will apply asap to see if it makes a difference and hopely ice doesnt form there any more.
the interior rain-x is suppossed to help with foggin up in the inside, since its been extremely cold it seems that my windshield and all 5 windows (including rear) take for ever to un-fogg the rear windows never un-fogg. Hopely this rain-x helps.

TOAST3R 01-16-2005, 12:30 PM put your xB in a garage! an un garaged xB is scion abuse!
i wonder how good it would work if you could put a rear window defroster on a sunroof.
Fujiz_xb 01-16-2005, 06:06 PM my car is in the garage when im at home.
thats a good idea as for a defroster for the moonroof. time to call webasto.
bamabox 01-17-2005, 10:58 PM Just out of curiosity,what does the moonroof run $?Besides the iceing problem are you pretty happy with it?I've been thinking of getting it done.
Fujiz_xb 01-18-2005, 03:42 AM it runns 1800.. heck yeah im happy with it i would def recommend it. today i was taking a nap waiting for my mom to come out from shopping..i got to see the airplane fly over my car, the clounds, the birds..etc etc..its definetly sweet.. make me feel more relaxed in a way.

dgHotLava 01-18-2005, 10:30 PM thats a big sunroof!!! looks sweet...
liquidscion 01-18-2005, 11:14 PM wow
sexyscionlover 01-18-2005, 11:14 PM yea thats a sweet looks sunroof.
my roof doesnt slide in the cold either... but then again i dont have a sunroof :(
Fujiz_xb 01-19-2005, 05:12 AM well i applied the rain x for interior and exterior..since we have some snow tonight tommorow imma see how it works.
hotbox05 01-19-2005, 11:06 AM try car wax. works wonders on glass too!!
BoxPilot 01-19-2005, 08:14 PM I had a sunroof installed in mine from the dealer. Its not the pana like yours but its wider I think. I have had no problems with mine. As for denting in the roof, no sign of it. it looks like its factory. And yes an xb without a roof is just not right.
X_Box 01-21-2005, 02:17 AM might just be mine but my box gets foggy as hell - gets on my nerves
Fujiz_xb 01-21-2005, 02:54 AM i been testing out the rain-x so far so good. only prob its kinda streaky..maybe i did it wrong..but it works pretty good so far.. no fog or ice on moonroof or windows.
TOAST3R 01-21-2005, 04:22 AM might just be mine but my box gets foggy as hell - gets on my nerves
mine fogged too in warm weather when i had the windows up with a/c on. i think it was less worse if i had recirculate air on, or the otherway around. i dont remeber, its cold here now
BoxPilot 01-21-2005, 07:32 PM it is best to have the recirc off if you are trying to get rid of moisture/fog. Also mine did a little bit when it first started getting cold here, mainly on the driver and passenger side whindows. I just pointed the little ducts in the corners at the windows and poof no more fog. The middle ones are more then enough to keep everyone elase warm

TheSpillmonkey 05-29-2005, 03:42 AM what company makes the moonroof ? I NEED ONE :)
Sciond 05-29-2005, 04:32 AM Webasto
crayonBOX 05-29-2005, 08:12 AM hey fuji, does that roof come w/an interior sunblock of any kind..? i coulndt find it on webasto's site.. and that is BIG btw. larger than i xpected
TJandBOXCARWILLIE 05-29-2005, 10:04 AM hey fuji, does that roof come w/an interior sunblock of any kind..? i coulndt find it on webasto's site.. and that is BIG btw. larger than i xpectedI'm not fuji, but I play him on TV...anyway, mine came with the sunshade...Now, I'm not sure if that is a dealer installed option, since I got it that way from the dealer.
TheSpillmonkey 05-29-2005, 01:10 PM The companies website doesnt have the xB listed as a supported vehicle for the panoramic roof, just the ragtop and the exterior normal one. Does thier panaramic fit the xB ?
TJandBOXCARWILLIE 05-30-2005, 06:15 AM Go to your local SCION dealer; ask them if they know about the roof. Show the pics from here (all the SCION dealers I have been to, have internet conections)...
Lonely_Raven 05-30-2005, 07:19 AM Wow, what's with people jumping into a thread started
several months ago?
TheSpillmonkey 05-31-2005, 12:57 AM nevermind, those were just sugested installs :) hehe
