Pano Roof Questions

[aj13]

My wife insisted on panroof. Previous fpace had one.
We also have pebble, and with blind open it does make a difference to interior brightness .

Also I found while looking (albeit second hand), that panroof equipped cars seem to be worth a bit more.

Love the pan roof

But was the perceived difference in asking price greater than the cost of speccing the pano roof in the first place, plus the cost of drainage checks etc?

The checks are an interesting one. My colleague’s Macan is a 2019 and he’s never once had any pano costs since owning it.

Not sure Simon as I didn't buy new.
But I wouldn't say it's a perceived difference second hand...was defo there.
What I did note was not that many macans were available without panroof, and when I was looking for a good 3-4 months, the non panroof ones seemed to be for sale for longer.
Maybe that indicates that Porsche salesmen did there job well when people ordered new ones?

I think it’s quite a new money-spinner. When was his car last at an OPC for a service.

My car, with no sunroof, was still recommended a drains check by OPC, for fuel filler area, and windscreen scuttle.

£59.70 to check and clear all drains on my recent OPC service.

You pay your money and take your choice, if it gives you peace of mind, it’s not exactly a fortune.

Hey,

So I've spec'd pano roof as have always had just to brighten interior. On previous cars have been fixed (Range Rover) so never opened and don't think I will in the Macan either as never like the noise of sunroofs open.

I've seen a few posts here about leaks and drain issues etc - so my question is better to just never open (which I'm happy to do) or better to open occasionally to keep things working properly?

Not sure!

Curve ball - or don't get one?

I didn't spec it on mine and the interior is perfectly fine. Infact its nice not having the sun shining in. Don't be affraid to not have one!

I agree with regard to a pano roof (not that I’d ever spec one).

With regard to the fuel filler cavity and the windscreen scuttle, I think it’s profiteering. Neither would lead to water leaking to the interior of the car and both would be pretty blinkin’ obvious to the casual observer.
