Sunroof Types & Installation Options
At Sunroof King, we’ve been installing and repairing sunroofs in Houston since 1979. If your vehicle didn’t come with a sunroof from the factory – or you want to upgrade an old aftermarket roof – we can help you choose the safest, cleanest option for your car, truck, or SUV.
Every installation is done in-house by experienced technicians. We use quality systems only, seal everything correctly, and stand behind our work. No shortcuts, no cheap kits, and no “drill and hope” jobs.
Which Sunroof Style Is Right for You?
Below is a simple guide to the main sunroof styles we install. If you’re not sure what you have – or what you want – just call us and we’ll walk you through it.
Panorama Sunroof – Large Glass Roof
A panorama sunroof covers a large portion of your roof and usually includes two glass panels.
The front panel typically opens, while the rear panel is fixed. This design brings in maximum light and is common in many luxury vehicles.
A panoramic sunroof uses a large glass panel (or two panels) to open up the roof and flood the cabin with light. It’s perfect if you want a “big glass roof” look similar to many modern luxury vehicles.
-
Great for SUVs and larger sedans
-
Electric tilt and slide operation
-
Clean, factory-style interior finish
-
Professional waterproof installation
Best for: customers who want the most open feeling and a modern luxury look.
Spoiler Sunroof – Sporty Slide-Back Glass
A spoiler sunroof tilts up and then slides back over the top of the roof. It gives a sporty look without cutting as deep into the roof structure as some inbuilt units.
-
Good option for smaller cars and compact SUVs
-
Large opening for fresh air
-
Low-profile, modern appearance
-
Reliable electric operation
Best for: sporty cars and trucks where roof space is limited.
Pop-Up Sunroof – Classic Tilt-Up Glass
A pop-up sunroof is a simple, manually operated glass panel that tilts up for ventilation and can be removed completely on some vehicles.
-
Simple and affordable
-
Manual operation – fewer electronic parts
-
Still uses quality glass and seals
-
Works well on many older vehicles
Best for: customers who want fresh air and light on a budget.
Inbuilt Sunroof – Standard & Deluxe
Inbuilt (or “in-roof”) sunroofs slide back into a pocket inside the roof. When closed, they blend into the headliner for a very clean factory-style look.
-
Power tilt and slide
-
Matches interior trim for OEM style
-
Available in standard and deluxe systems
-
Professional reinforcement and drainage
Best for: drivers who want a clean, factory-style appearance and smooth electric operation.
Folding Sunroof – Fabric “Convertible” Style
A folding fabric sunroof gives you a convertible-like opening with a soft top that folds back.
-
Largest open area of all styles
-
Unique, classic look
-
Electric operation on most systems
-
Great for show cars and cruisers
Best for: customers who want something different that really stands out.
Factory-Style Replacement & Upgrades
Already have a sunroof that leaks, is noisy, or doesn’t open correctly? We can often repair or replace just the sunroof system without replacing the whole roof of the vehicle.
-
Replacement glass and tracks
-
Shade and seal repairs
-
Motor and switch diagnostics
-
Leak and wind-noise correction
