Forester moonroof

Dan 29 April 2005 06:31:04
 I am on the market for a 2005 Subaru Foreter Special Edition with the large
moonroof and I would like to know if there is a risk of leaking problems
with a big moonroof.
Any owners with bad experiences ???

I live on the edge of the Mojave desert, so the seals have been well
baked in the noon day sun while at work. We have recently had some
unusually heavy rains, and so far so good. No leaks at all.
2005 Forester XT (USA)

I actually have a 2004/2005 liberty wagon with those huge sun-moon/roof.
Seems good so far. Had some little vibration noise at the start.. but
seems to have disappeared.
My only disappointment was that it didn't come tinted.

AMEN to that ! Does anyone know why Subaru (USA) seems to be the only
manufacturer that has decided NOT offer a factory tinted glass as an
option like every other US importer/manufactur­er seems to do?

You mean for the windows? (as opposed to the sunroof).

The windows are not tinted because only trucks are allowed to have the
back windows tinted. The Forester is classified as a station wagon. In
some states, it is not legal to get them tinted.

Hiya

I was referring to the sunroof glass.
It was a bit odd that they dont come tinted standard. Had a civic
previously, and the sunroof that came with that had pretty dark tints.

 We bought a '05 Forester X SE on April 16th. Can't really comment on the
possibility of leaks - no problems yet including during a majopr downpour
yesterday afternoon. Love the moonroof. As for tinting, hey, isn't that
what the sunshade is for?!?

The STi's normal glass isn't tinted per-se, but it certainly blocks the sun
very nicely. If I look closely, the glass does look darker and it turns out
that's on purpose to improve visibility for those people who would
otherwise be dazzled by bright sunlight.

I can *almost* go without sunglasses on a bright day. =] Kinda cool
actually. Course, there's no such thing as a moonroof on an STi unless you
cut one in yourself, but I thought I'd contribute.
