sometimes it might rattle or squeak when you hit a curve, but that is because it flexes with the body. other then that, i dunno :dunno:

Know what, I don't know why so many cars have to have a moonroof anyway. I didn't want the sunroof in the first place. I wish my car didn't have one. Without it, the car would be more rigid structurally and it would have additional headroom (which the 'Lude really needs in my opinion). Anyway, I wish that moonroofs on Honda's would be OPTIONAL not standard so people that want the high line car can get the moonroof if they want, but don't have it imposed upon them if they don't.

the sunroof/moonroof is an integral part of the Prelude's design since the very first Prelude. getting rid of the roof would be like making a Prelude sedan.

sunroofs/moonroofs do not lessen the structural integrity of a car, as there's still all the standard beams in place in the roof... only targas, t-tops, and convertibles have compromised structural integrity due to lack of structural pillars, beams, or door frame reinforcements.
