Well, judging from what we listed about the sunroof, you can probably start to guess. However, it should be known that most modern vehicles are now produced with moonroofs rather than sunroofs!<\/p>\n<p>Moonroofs are\u00a0made out of\u00a0glass and instead of sliding on top of a vehicle, they instead slide into a\u00a0built-in\u00a0pocket with the car frame. Additionally, moonroofs come with a small sliding\u00a0panel. This leaves a barrier between passengers and the outside when the moonroof is open, keeping out bugs and\u00a0leaves while\u00a0still letting sun and air in.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/blog\/how-can-i-make-my-car-dog-friendly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>How Can I Make My Car Dog-Friendly?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For additional information regarding vehicle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/blog\/category\/tips-tricks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tips\u00a0and tricks<\/a>, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stop23.ca\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out our blog<\/a> for help!
