Default panoramic moon roof and cold weather

Okay so my fav mod currently is my panoramic moon roof. Unfortunately somehow water seems to build up and and it freezes on the outside due to the cold weather. On the inside its the same story only that its n0t that bad.

when i close the door or hit a bump it makes this noise as if its going to break. Im am so paranoid.

I bought rain-x for the interior and exterior. I will apply asap to see if it makes a difference and hopely ice doesnt form there any more.
the interior rain-x is suppossed to help with foggin up in the inside, since its been extremely cold it seems that my windshield and all 5 windows (including rear) take for ever to un-fogg the rear windows never un-fogg. Hopely this rain-x helps.

put your xB in a garage! an un garaged xB is scion abuse!

i wonder how good it would work if you could put a rear window defroster on a sunroof.

I had a sunroof installed in mine from the dealer. Its not the pana like yours but its wider I think. I have had no problems with mine. As for denting in the roof, no sign of it. it looks like its factory. And yes an xb without a roof is just not right.

mine fogged too in warm weather when i had the windows up with a/c on. i think it was less worse if i had recirculate air on, or the otherway around. i dont remeber, its cold here now

it is best to have the recirc off if you are trying to get rid of moisture/fog. Also mine did a little bit when it first started getting cold here, mainly on the driver and passenger side whindows. I just pointed the little ducts in the corners at the windows and poof no more fog. The middle ones are more then enough to keep everyone elase warm
