Is the moonroof a feature you want ?

I guess it all depends on where you live.
It rarely gets hot enough here to use the AC which I'm not a fan of anyway.
If fact we normally run the heat for more than half the year.
A moonroof is just the ticket for me and I keep it open as often as I can.
But then the air is pretty clean here and I don't normally drive in any traffic.
Never have any issues except the occasional bird turd.

Ya so that main drain ports (there are 2 looking at the service manual) was exactly where I said they were (accessing them first requires the opening of the sunroof) on your old Audi. Maybe next time you will learn a little from reading some things I post instead of trying to find fault all the time? LOL
If you use your sunroof even occasionally then you should do a service cleaning periodically and most assuredly before change of seasons. If you don't open your sunroof then you are highly unlikely to clog the drain ports and hoses!
IN some vehicle's the drain hose can become detached in the headliner area, this has happened to several vehicles over a few decades mostly caused by improper cleaning servicing.

I read all the posts Callisto - even your snarky ones... The Audi Q7 was known for the issue I had and with its huge panoramic sunroof had issues with the drain tubes coming apart. They were very long, intricate runs on that car. We rarely opened the roof and it was always garaged so it was not exposed to lots of debris like many cars are. My cars are kept in immaculate condition so it wasn't lack of care.
Oh and this is ...hold on NOT an Audi forum or thread about Audi's but MAZDA's. LOL And where are all the drain ports on newer MAZDAS... yup when the sunroof is closed they are seal from the environment. lol Really dude you are a funny guy don't take me wrong. I really enjoy your responses on threads I participate on.

I like the sunroofs. The one in my CX-5 is small compared to my Forester. But the Mazda's open and tilt and the Sub can't do that. I had an 88 323 GT and I used the sunroof tilted way more than I used it open. Just enough ventilation to keep the car cool without messing up everybody's hair.

I'm sure that Callisito will be along shorty to supply the requested information, in his special way of course...

Mine was pretty long as well back when I was in my band days.
Heredity, responsibility of married life and the birth of my son put an end to my hair and the band.
But I did have some wicked Billy Idol spikes for a few years before they ended up in my motorcycle helmet(s) as well.
Been buzzing what little is on the sides of my own head for many moons now.
So far only the $25 cost of the Wahl clippers that are about 30 years old now.
My hair did decide to sprout in places like my ears and nose but not sure how that would look in ponytail...
