Sunroof.....a fan or not?

Sunroof.....a fan or not?
Just wondering how many members use their sunroof, regularly, rarely, not at all?
I've had a couple of cars with a sunroof/moonroof, but I've found that I rarely use them.
Given the option of having a sunroof, or not having a sunroof, I think I would opt for not having one, simply for the possibility of malfunction, a problem I don't need for the use I would get out of the device.
So just wondering how many of you use your sunroof regularly?

Missing track parts so for now it's duck taped shut short 1 inch from closed seal , manual crank socket no help . I know there is alot of TSB,'s on the mater but I have to find the missing parts first . The X300 and X308 are the same assembly .

When I ordered the new bodyshell from Jaguar, they asked me sunroof or not, I said no sunroof for a number of reasons. Weight, added time and parts to fit And get to run correctly. They can leak causing all sorts of issues, so for me I prefer the R without.
Being a black car I sometimes regret this, but that's a rare feeling as the car and I reside in the north of England, it rains, a lot!

It was not until Ford come on board and switched to DENSO HVAC ... no problems after that.
I like the moon roofs because of the extra light .. not to open them. 911's are more expensive to delete the sunroof .. as it's a special order.

An interesting fact about all the Daimler (Super 8, VDP) 308 cars came fitted with a sun roof.
Then someone I know got into a debate about this, the particular car was the then Prime Ministers Squadron Blue Daimler, it had no sun roof.....being a bombproof car, we guessed it would compromise the integrity, so if you see a Daimler without a sunroof, it'll be rather heavier than standard

And here's a QEII 308. Nice low miles, and it has the sunroof, but no cupholders! (jump to 58 seconds to skip the initial blurb)

A rarity on UK Jaguars. The last one I had was on my XJ40 and I couldn't find either an X300 or X308 with a sunroof when buying them as subsequent replacements.
I used it regularly on the XJ40 and would do so again if I go back to a Jaguar saloon and can find the required spec with one fitted. Ideal in our relatively cool and frequently wet UK climate and superb when touring in warmer parts of the Continent.
