You can google this and find lots of opinions but the general concensus seems to be

Sunroof = metal

Moonroof = glass or polycarb

However that was more prevelant 10 or more years ago when the metal ones were more common.. it seems that these days most of them are glass, and most people just call them a 'sunroof' in either case.

I had no sunroof at all. I had my hood fly up and crush the roof so I took it to the sunroof company and they had a body shop on the side. The roof itself was like 795.

your hood flew up and crushed your roof? one of the carbon fibers? ... where do you buy hood pins anyway and install them?
