Talking How many open sunroof while driving ?

I can't, so I close both due to bad seasonal allergies.

Open both every chance I get. Coming from Minnesota (where you are locked up tight from November to March), unfortunately you are missing out on some very nice weather in Kansas City. I've never seen so many sunny days in the Midwest in my life.

I usually drive with my sunroof open all the time. But when it gets colder outside, I usually tilt it to let in fresh air.

It gets pretty hot in LA.
I usually have the sun roof closed and the A/C turned up.
I close the interior cover cuz otherwise, the sunroof will make the annyoing rattling noises.

Living In Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, I try to keep the sunroof open as much as posssible, May-October. The sunroof cover is always open, letting in the sunshine. The only time I do close the cover is when it rains, so the sound of the rain on the closed sunroof is not as loud.

As for sunroof rattles neither my 2000 TL or my new 2002 TL have any rattles.

It's hot as hell here in Houston. During the day I drive with everything closed and the AC running. At night and in the mornings, I drive with the windows open and the moonroof tilted open.

It really depends... I would love to open them both if I can... But it gets too HOT/COLD here... Then I will just tilt it open, when I am smoking...

Any day that's warmer than 60 and cooler than 75--I've got the sunroof wide open.

Just like everyone else here, it depends on the weather.
If its sunny, I open it up. When its humid and hot outside, I close it and crank up the AC.

Only 3 positions: Roof/Shade closed, Roof/Shade open, or Roof tilt/shade open...

persionally, I really think vents on the shade(like those on MBs)would be nice, which let you tilt open the roof with shade CLOSED...

I open the roof at every chance possible, or at least have roof tilt open whenever it's not raining/snowing...

Open any chance I get, but not very often during the summer in Austin.
It'll probably stay open most of the time from now until about next April though.

Open fully when possible. Our car has the wind deflector on it so the tilt fuction doesn't do much since all the air it getting pushed over it by the deflector.

i used to drive with it tilted and the cover open. the weather has been a bit cooler lately so i have been driving with the sunroof completely open. If it was a nice day then I would always drive with the sunroof open.

Thumbs up

For all of us in Houston, the weather is sweeeet!!! Low to mid 70s with sunshine. Doesn't get much better than this! Sunroof is always open with front two windows all the way down. This is perfect cruising weather!
