Sun roof etiquette

AKSubie · 12-21-2001, 05:28 PM

Question for all of you with sunroofs (the glass kind). During the wintery months, do you close the sunshade for added insulation, or leave it open? For a while I was leaving it open to provide extra sunlight (heat) but then thought maybe it would be warmer to close it (the sunshade) but this morning it was a balmy 30 so I thought I would open the sunshade again, and noticed it "frosted" on the inside. So, should I leave it open or closed? Does it matter?

I leave mine closed in the winter. I have had a Prelude, Maxima, and now a Legacy. I have always noticed it was colder open. Plus the fact that it is tinted so dark that not much light gets in anyway.
