Speaking broadly, there are mainly two types of sunroof: factory fitted or aftermarket. The main benefit of having a sunroof in your car is its aesthetic appeal. It adds a unique touch to your car and helps you stand out from the crowd. Your cabin also becomes roomier and receives a lot of sunlight during the day time.

A sunroof helps people with car claustrophobia heavily. Factory fitted sunroof cars do not compromise with the safety/rigidity of the car but the same cannot be said about aftermarket fitments.
