Love the sunlight in the winter, can't wait to open in the spring!
The Shade shields the bright sun just right!

I had the solid roof on my 13 and glass in the turbo. I prefer the glass for all the reasons stated above. The glass allows a lot of sun in and makes the cabin more airy without opening the roof. There are no rattles in either the 13 or 14.

Have glass roof on my '13 C2S and have no rattles.

Love it (the way it looks and the light and air it lets in) and wouldn't do it any other way. Only wish that it opened up a lot more than it actually does!

Had the glass sunroof on my 13 C2S. Liked the way it looked on the outside and the shade pulled back so you could see out and let some sunshine in. Was not crazy about the look of it when open. I only opened it twice maybe in my 15 TTS, I have just the regular sunroof.

Its a matter of taste and comfort. I have a double black C2. My roof is glass and one can't tell its there. Personally, I don't like the look of the black glass on white.

I have never opened my sunroof since I purchased the car a year ago. Frankly, I don't even know if it works. I do like be able to retract the shade. I prefer to keep the car dust free as best I can. I would not order a car with the sunroof glass or otherwise. I also track my car and feel that I would be safer without the glass.

Nice what wheels are those? Stock powder coated? Do you have a picture without the snow? Looks really good.

I like the glass top inside and outside. I've put nearly 11k miles on it from new with no creaking or otherwise.

Beautiful Car! I would love to see more Pics of your car, especially the glass roof on a white GTS. Not to hijack the thread but, can you post some more pics?

Here are some. Not great because sun was not high and iPhone pictures.
