Does Ford Mustang Have A Sunroof?

Are you in the market for a Ford and leaning towards a Mustang? Is a sunroof a must-have feature in your new car? Well, rest assured we looked into it and have the details on whether or not a Ford Mustang has a sunroof and what models it may be possible in. 

For 2021 Ford Mustang models, there are no options with sunroofs available. There was a period of time between 2011 and 2015 when the Mustang models had the option for a glass roof (not necessarily a sunroof). But for recent models, sunroofs aren't an option due to the contour of the roof. The only option for a Ford Mustang with a sunroof is the Ford Mustang Mach-E. This is an SUV/Crossover and not a sports car model; it isn't available until autumn of 2021.

So, if you're looking for that classic sports car image that a Ford Mustang offers, then you won't find a model that has a sunroof option. If a sunroof is a must-have for you, then check out the Ford Mustang Mach-E model.

Can you add a sunroof to a Mustang?

Honestly, you can install a sunroof to a Mustang aftermarket, but know that the dealership isn't going to do so for you. If you really desire to have a sunroof, you're going to have to go through somewhere else, which is a gamble because you're going to be cutting a hole in a car that you've paid a significant amount of money for. Also, since the car isn't designed for sunroof capabilities, any addition of one may be prone to leaking.

So, when considering adding a sunroof, keep these factors in mind. Also, think about the additional price you'll pay on top of the car, which we cover in the next sub-section. 

How much does it cost to add a sunroof?

As for the cost of adding a sunroof, there is no set number, as materials, length, and car model will impact the final price. A sunroof's cost can be anywhere from $800 to $1,800 to install. 

Do sunroofs leak?

With any car, old or new, you might always worry about the potential of a leak when it comes to sunroofs. The quick answer is yes. Sunroofs may eventually leak, but this is why it is worth it to put the money in for a quality sunroof. If you invest in a good-quality sunroof, you'll find no issues with it. 

If you're willing to spend more, then you should look into having your sunroof installed with a silicone seal with handles and hinges made out of polycarbonate. This combination will give you the best protection for the longest time.

If you settle for a sunroof made with neoprene and handles of plastic, then you will experience leaks. Neoprene erodes when exposed to the elements, and plastic handles aren't the most secure, thus leading to an eventual leak.

What is the difference between a moonroof and sunroof?

When looking into sunroofs, you may have seen the word moonroof tossed around. This is because a moonroof is a type of sunroof, and while they may seem very similar, there is a slight difference between the two.

Sunroof

A sunroof is a panel on the top of the car that lets light and air into the vehicle. It only opens up a little bit, but it's enough to make a change in a car. 

Moonroof

A moonroof is a glass panel on the roof of a car that lets light in even when it is closed and is usually tinted, which is what separates it from a standard sunroof.

Different Types Of Roofs

Of these features, there are four main types that are the most popular: panoramic, pop-up, spoiler, and built-in.

  • A panoramic roof is a large glass panel that expands the length of the top of a car, letting light into both the front and back seats of a vehicle. This type of roof can either be fixed in place or have the option of sliding open and closed.
  • A pop-up roof pops up in the back to let in air. At one point, these could even be completely detachable.
  • A spoiler roof offers the same function as a pop-up roof, but the main difference is that it remains above the roof when it pops back in place.
  • A built-in roof has two options. One, it can act as a vent by opening up in the back to filter air through. Two, it can completely open by sliding between the roof and headliner.
