Can’t go wrong with the glass sunroof. I don’t drive with the sunroof open, but I always keep the sunroof shade open, unless I park the car in the sun on a hot day. On a cold day, I keep the shade open and the car interior stays warm.
No leaks.
This and RAS were a couple of my toughest decisions. Had the new look with more body color on the glass roof been available on the 2021s or if I had a 2022 allocation, I would have ordered my build with the glass roof.
I got it strictly for aesthetic purposes, I think the top of the car looks amazing with that long panel of black. If I had spec'ed a black 911 I wouldn't have got it but it looks great against chalk. But no, I never actually use the sunroof.
Built mine without it. I think it makes the white car look a bit better. On my 5 cars none have a sunroof. Not all are on purpose, some don't have it as an option.
I absolutely recommend the glass sunroof for the look and the lighting...maybe once or twice a year I open the sunroof for a guest in the car. But main reason I wanted it was for the look and the lighting.
That has been corrected for 2022. You can get the car prepped for a roof rack without sunroof now.
For OP, I went with the sunroof simply for the extra light in the cabin. Chicago can be dreary.
Hi Doug,
Can you confirm that opening and closing the screen shade on your glass roof in fact does bring in a reasonable amount of light in the cabin? I ask because on both my Macan and C wagon (with panoramic glass) it makes ZERO difference unless you're sitting in the back seat.

From sitting in the car at the dealer, it did. I’ll have to tell you what it is like on May 1st when I get my car.
I posted this on the new 2022 config thread as it appears Porsche made a change/improvement on the glass sunroof for model year 2022.
Actually they made a major improvement that I would actually get me to select the glass sunroof with the 2022 if I wasn't on a 2021 allocation.
The 2020/2021, if you selected glass sunroof, the strip of roof between the windshield and the sunroof was black (regardless of body color) and the strip between the sunroof and the back windshield was as well. When the pillars of body came up the windshield, with the glass sunroof option, they had an odd widening to them at the top, that broke up the color lines.
Now with the 2022, they have made all of the roof that is not sunroof body colored, just like on the steel sunroof version. Which in my opinion makes the glass sunroof car look so so so much better, so much that I would option a glass sunroof on a 2022 build but did not on my 2021 build.
Maybe that's my OCD!!
Sorry to resuscitate an old thread, but is this definitely the case? I really dislike the black panels in front of and behind the glass sunroof. The current configurator still shows it as black, and states:
Roof painted in front and behind the glass module in High Gloss Black
