That's only in the US. I believe everywhere else they're all called sunroofs. I call mine a sunroof because I think 'moonroof' sounds pompous.
Now that we have that out of the way...why bother? It'll probably be noisier.
Your right. Sunroofs had a rectangular part of the metal/fabric roof itself sliding instead of glass. However they stopped making sunroofs in cars really long ago, unless u count convertibles.
Sunroofs were made in mid-60's and moonroofs were made a lot later.
So Everything out there is a moonroof, but they are called sunroofs anyways. Go figure.
Coming back to the topic, shouldnt you be able to re-use the glass. It looks like the same size to me. That should save you some money.
