Moon Roof/No Moon Roof Weight Difference ?

[DANACO]

Does anyone have information as to the added weight of the Moon roof ?

Prob somewhere between 40-80lbs.

just doing some math its like 1.2lbs per square foot difference. glass being more if its 3/8" thick up there and 20 gauge aluminum i'm assuming, double panel moonroof is 15.5 square feet so maybe 18.6lbs more for glass

Not enough to make a difference on a 6000 pound truck.

^ Lol

That was a nice breakdown

Really depends on if they deleted structural cross members thus negating some of the glass weight, or added more aluminum around the perimeter of the glass to reinforce the roof. Convertible cars are usually heavier than hardtops due to structural beefing up. Plus the weight of the glass motor and mechanisms etc... Lots of factors

Defintely not enough weight to be noticeable. I can see an argument for hardcore 4x4 users and not having glass up there for a roll-over, jumps, etc... but I think for most of us that doesn't apply.

I love my moon-roof. Was on the fence but so glad I got it.

+1 all that extra sealant, trim and shade weigh something too. It's more than swapping some aluminum for glass. But still, not going to be noticeable on a 3 ton truck.
