What is a sunroof?
A Sunroof is one of the attractive features of a car. Sunroof is a panel on the roof of the vehicle that either slides back or can be taken out to allow light and air to come into the cabin of a vehicle. There are two types of sunroofs available and sold in India today. The larger one is called a panoramic sunroof.
Many carmakers include sunroofs in their portfolio, but in some, they don’t have them. So the customers who don’t have a sunroof in their car, go for an aftermarket sunroof, which is slightly not a good idea. Cars with factory-installed sunroofs are still a valid choice because manufacturers perform an extensive study before installing a sunroof on a car.

The mechanical part starts chattering and stops working at a very early stage. And after having damage you have to bear the cost and this will hit your pocket more. Most manufacturers give a warranty on their products but they give o warranty to the customers for the period it will work well, mostly in case problems start after the warranty period.
AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE CAR
One of the biggest threats of having an aftermarket sunroof is that it affects the safety of our car. The safety of our cars and our lives is one of the crucial things. The roof is an integral part of the overall structure of a car and bears the structural role. It is quite obvious that for the installation of an aftermarket sunroof, a manufacturer cut the upper part of the good and adjusts it according to requirement. It affects the rigidity of the roof and makes it more vulnerable in the case of an accident. But when the sunroof was installed by the company, the whole car went through many engineering processes, it doesn’t affect our car’s structure and doesn’t play with its safety. The car’s structure and its construction have been designed to support a sunroof while keeping the vehicle’s safety and rigidity.
WATER AND NOISE LEAKAGE
Due to aftermarket sun roofing your car is prone to have water inside it mainly during the rainy season. Water can damage the sunroof’s mechanical parts, which are expensive to repair. Water leakage not only damages your sunroof but even damages your whole car system. Aftermarket sunroofs not harm your car physically and mechanically, but also spoil your moments due to water leakage. Noise leakage is another concern of having an aftermarket sunroof.
