Moon Roof?

As far as I know, the "moon" roof has been standard on the 4WD models from the beginning. It's not even an option on the 2WD or SC. If you get a 4WD Element, get the sun shade, too. I'm thinking about it-the interior gets kinda warm because of the sun shinninig in.

Opening the moonroof goes a long way to keeping things cool.

Putting a piece of 35% static tint film on it goes a long way toward reducing the greenhouse effect through the moon roof, and doesn't interfere with opening the panel for ventilation. I made a dollar store sunshade to use on the moonroof. It sticks to the vinyl film nicely with the panel open, but it hasn't been sunny enough since I made it to need it.

Like GaryS said moon roof no longer avaliable on any model 2009 Element. I thought I would miss it but I really don't.

what gary said. up to 08 on 4wd models only. i like having it because leaving it open REALLY does help keep the car cooler - did i mention we're on like our 7th 100 degree day in a row here?

I wan't to add one of those "old school" round windows, just behind the EX's upper console. You know the ones you used to see on the old chevy vans etc...

any thought's?

I'm seriously considering trading in my Prius and getting an Element. I want the moon roof. Does the 08 have a moon roof? How about the 09?

Thanks!

All 4WDs up to and including 2008 have it. It was discontinued for 2009 models.
