Glass roof opinions

[HOOCBB]

I am looking at a GT that has the glass roof option. One of my co-workers brought up hail.

Anyone have a glass roof and been through a hail storm with it? The car will be garaged at home, but I don't have that luxury at work.

Any other opinions on a glass roof that I should take into consideration?

I doubt hail would be any different than against a windshield.

That's basically what it is.

I'd think the angle of the windshield prevents a lot of potential damage. With a flat roof (though not completely flat), it could cause more damage couldn't it?

Texas heat + glass roof = Fail.

Why, if it's too hot, close the shade on it. I actually heard it is stronger than the metal roof and provides better structural support.


Unsurprisingly, FoMoCo has added a glass roof option to the 2010 Ford Mustang, offering sun worshipers with an aversion to cowl shake a panoramic view of the skies. The glass top cuts out 90% of UV rays, shielding occupants from the blinding sun while reducing cabin temperatures, limiting the energy required of the air conditioning, protecting the interior from fade and deterioration and reducing the amount of NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) inside the cabin. The glass roof is available on both the V6 and 4.6-liter V8-powered GT for $1,995, and if history is any indication, around 10% of all new Mustang owners will opt for the glass top with a manually operated roller blind. Make the jump for all the details.

I will let you test that in a roll over.

The sheetmetal on the roof doesn't provide any support in the event of a rollover.

Insurance would cover it anyways so what's the big deal?

I have a Vert, who needs a glass roof!

All the BS aside, if I was getting a new mustang, glass roof option would be at the top of my list.
