I am on the market for a 2005 Subaru Foreter Special Edition with the large
moonroof and I would like to know if there is a risk of leaking problems
with a big moonroof.
Any owners with bad experiences ???

Does anyone know why Subaru (USA) seems to be the only manufacturer that has decided NOT offer a factory tinted glass as an option like every other US importer/manufacturer seems to do?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Forester moonroof

You mean for the windows? (as opposed to the sunroof). The windows are not tinted because only trucks are allowed to have the back windows tinted. The Forester is classified as a station wagon. In some states, it is not legal to get them tinted. -R.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Forester moonroof

We bought a '05 Forester X SE on April 16th. Can't really comment on the possibility of leaks - no problems yet including during a majopr downpour yesterday afternoon. Love the moonroof. As for tinting, hey, isn't that what the sunshade is for?!?

If I look closely, the glass does look darker and it turns out that's on purpose to improve visibility for those people who would otherwise be dazzled by bright sunlight. I can almost go without sunglasses on a bright day. =] Kinda cool actually. Course, there's no such thing as a moonroof on an STi unless you cut one in yourself, but I thought I'd contribute.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Forester moonroof

I took delivery in late 2004. FYI: I live on the edge of the Mojave desert where summer temps reach 115°F in the summer and down to 30°F in the winter. Car is outside and uncovered 5 days a week while I'm at work. Baking in the summer and chilling in the winter. We do get rain in late winter, and an occassional thunderstoms in the summer, plus a bi-weekly run through a carwash. No leaks. >> Stay informed about: Forester moonroof
