I like a moonroof/sunroof... but I never "open" it because to seal problems. I just enjoy the extra light, or able to look at the sky every now and then. Why? I had an Acura that had a moonroof problem where when I used the tilt open function, the moonroof seal/rubber lip was rolled over, and leaked. 1st repair fixed under warranty... but if you didn't open it, it sealed fine. I looked up moonroof repairs... and it's always $1k+ to fix. So instead of running the risk for $1K fix, I just never open moonroofs again, and just enjoy the light by moving the overhead shade (and if I want air, just roll down the windows).

@Whateva67 I think for Honda's, if you plan to use your moonroof, there is a silicone based lubricant or grease you can use for the moonroof rails, which I highly recommend you use, as the moonroof rail grease attracts dirt like crazy (wipe old stuff off, put new stuff on). There is also various rubber "moisturizers" I've seen for RVs which if I had an older moonroof, I would slather/wipe it on to prevent it from drying out... esp if you don't park your car in a garage.

It's call "just in time" supply chain and manufacturing.

@jisyx1 I think if you haven't opened it for a long time, and it's an older car, then you prob should keep it shut, since it's sealed doesn't leak. Once you open that up, you break the seal, and it may not seal as tight as previously. I wouldn't want to run the risk of a leak, esp if you don't actually open it often.

It is a customer fault... they bought a Toyota.
