Default Another positive for having a sunroof.

There is another positive in having a Sunroof!
Don’t forget the venting option. When used the door windows and sunroof will open a tad to allow hot air to escape. As the roof is the interiors highest point, the hottest air is able to escape through the sunroof. Dealers can activate this option via the T4.
Even if the car may be super locked; by inserting the key blade into the door lock and turning it the windows will lower a bit and the sunroof move backwards a little. As the glass is only lowered a couple of inches, or so, the car remains secured.
People sometimes forget just how hot a closed car can become. With plenty of glass they are like a gardeners hot house. Sadly, newspaper report (at least here in Melbourne) the grieving news of a child dying inside an unattended locked car. The interior temperature can easily exceeded 50⁰C on a warm / hot day.
And on a hot day, I find it more comfortable to be in a cooler ventilated car.
