Mild jump with sunroof?

[KeithV]

I'm doing a road trip in a few days from Iowa to SoCal and Phx for a couple weeks. Stopping in Vegas too. Going to run by Moab and check it out since I've never been there. Also going to hit Anza-Borrego in SoCal if I have time, and do some desert exploring in AZ.

Not planning on any heavy duty off-roading or anything too extreme since it's in the middle of a long road trip and some of the locations I will have all my luggage and everything inside, plus usually by myself.

Considering these sunroofs seem to enjoy spontaneously exploding with little provocation, just how much do I need to worry about that off-roading? What if I find an appropriate place to catch a LITTLE air? Who's sent it with a sunroof and it survived? I understand there's no guarantees, but just wondering about experiences.

I also have a hard 3 piece bed cover that's clamped down in several places. Any worries about that?

Lastly, anybody know of some decent open desert areas around Phoenix? I used to live there, but it's been about 15 years and I know things have grown like crazy and changed there.

Can't wait to hit the road!

Just find one with a downhill landing. Let off the gas before your front wheels hit the apex.
Then you are on your own. Just you and gravity. Good luck and God speed.

The sunroof will be fine. You can play in the dunes out by the racetrack in Vegas, lots of fun!!

Just did a jump nearby to double check for ya and I can confirm the sunroof is still intact!

I did some jumps on woopy logging/forest trails in New England got probably as much as 2’ off ground w/ my ‘18 sunroof didn’t do anything

I did notice the panels didn’t align perfectly when closed but I can’t say for sure it happened as a result of the jumps or was always like that- one side slightly more raised than the other, but never had any leaks, creaks or squeaks or rattles- did clean it 2-3x a year @ lube w/ krytox.....but I did avoid a sunroof on my 2020, more so b/c I just didn’t wanna deal e/ the maintenance of the thing

of course if ya DONT maintain it once in a while....may be asking for issues

Ive sent it multiple times and I have the roof and have had no problems other than squeaks

Thanks for the tip, I didn't think about checking out any areas around Vegas, other than casinos and strip clubs

Yes, I'm actually cleaning and lubing it this weekend before I leave. Along with my sunroof and my guns

Does the sunroof rails need to be cleaned/lubed if I never open the damn thing? Literally never. I hate having it but didn’t have a choice.
