Get the KP Tech Window Rollup module to roll your windows back up with two clicks of the lock button.

If the sunroof is tilted up, only the windows will open, and the sunroof will not open.

However, it's not a good idea to leave the car parked with sunroof tilted open if snow or rain is expected.

Ladies and Gentlemen ... Captain Obvious is now in the building!!!

I didnt think about the sunroof being tilted not allowing it to roll back...However; I personally like that everything rolls down/back!

there have been plenty of times i have accidentally left the tilt up and it'd rain/snow hard the next day..

but the angle of it keeps snow and rain out for me! only problem is its colder than usual in the car since the cold air goes through the tilt

o cool i dint know that, but isnt the purpose of rolling down the windows to vent the car, so if the sunroof is already tilted there will be no need to roll down the windows

^sure, but there are many different ways to skin a cat.

Different people might have different uses for the roll down.

A lot more air can move into the car through four open windows than through just the slot left by the tilted sunroof. The car interior will heat up a lot even with the sunroof tilted open.
If the car is parked in an open lot on hot, sunny days, I won't tilt the sunroof since the car interior feels just as hot whether the sunroof is tilted or not-- I just roll everything open while approaching the car.

When parked under cover or on warm, cloudy or overcast days, I leave the sunroof tilted open and roll the windows down only if necessary.

Not for me! I once left the sunroof tilted and it was one of those crazy weather days in Chicago where the weather changes drastically in a short timeframe. (It happens pretty often.) When I parked the car it was in the 50s and sunny. When I came out to the car just a few hours later it was 25 degrees, snowing and quite windy. All the wind had blown snow through the tilted sunroof all over my TL! There was a thin layer of snow everywhere... on the dash, on the seats, on the rear deck, on the carpets. I spent a good 20 minutes cleaning all the snow out of the car before turning it on so that I could easily get it out before it warmed up and melted. Fortunately it worked out okay and I got a majority out so there wasn't any harm done.
