Americans call that hole in the roof of the car a 'moon roof' and British call it a 'sun roof' :thinking: and what does the rest of the world call it? :thinking:

Easy answer.

Because Americans drive at night and the British drive during the day. The rest of the world calls it a "sky roof".

It's a sun roof in Canada and in the U.S. too, at least I've never heard it referred to that way.

I always thought moon roof referred to the ones that only pop up instead of slide open. Of course, mine does both, and I call it a sunroof, so who knows :thinking:

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"
