When you want to vent hot air out of the cabin but don't want a lot of sun.
When you don't want heat to build up when the car is parked.

Just chillen..
^^^ just be careful, dont want rain to happen the same day u have the sunroof tilted. It wouldve been cool if there was like a sensor where if a rain drop hit the sensor, the sunroof automatically closes.

I always wondered this too. I really do think it is a coolness factor. I remember when they came out with the sunroofs that slid outside of the body instead of into it. People thought it looked cooler.

Also, the damn grinding noise when it opens.

By "in" i really meant back. I wished it went into the roof all the way. It would only take up rear headroom. I'm driving, I don't care about me rear seat passengers, haha.

The sunroof on the TL is not quite as good as the sunroof on my old CRX was at keeping the rain out while you are driving. The CRX had much bigger lips under the sunroof panel to channel the water out.
The CRX had one of those sunroofs that slid outside the roof - it wasnt because it "looked cool" - it was because there was no headroom available to use up 3" of space under the headliner , and the roof itself just wasn't long enough - to accomodate the sunroof panel going inside the headliner. Having the sunroof panel slide back outside the roof was a good engineering compromise to put a sunroof on a car that normally probably could not have had a sliding sunroof.

@ slide or die @
i can't believe that nobody knows about the downforce factor it provides. why do you think ricers put spoilers on their rooves?
*their cars dont have a sunroof

I spray it on a paper towel and thoroughly wet the seals - let it soak - and wipe the excess off. The tilt allows you to get the back half of the seal.
