Скачать или смотреть Sunroof Repairs: Hidden Costs You Didn't Expect.

According to Carriage Glass & Detail, standard maintenance for any car sunroof (panoramic, pop-up, sliding, factory-installed, or aftermarket) focuses on preventing the two main causes of leaks: clogged drainage tubes and dried/cracked rubber seals. Perform these tasks every 3–6 months (or at least twice a year, such as spring and fall) or more often if you park under trees or in dusty areas.
This routine prevents 90%+ of sunroof leaks and is the same across nearly all vehicles. Neglecting it can lead to expensive interior water damage, mold, or electrical issues.
In the Greater Houston area, the average cost to repair a lower-end sunroof (such as a basic pop-up or standard tilt/slide model on economy vehicles) is around $250. This price typically covers repairs for leaks, clogged drains, seal replacements, and minor mechanical adjustments, but does not include major glass replacement or motor repairs. Costs may vary in other regions due to differences in labor rates, availability of parts, and local market conditions, so it's helpful compare with national averages when setting expectations.
Replacement for a lower-end sunroof averages about $750, which includes glass and basic labor but can vary based on the vehicle make and model.
For an upper-end sunroof (such as panoramic or multi-panel designs on luxury or premium vehicles), the average repair cost is around $600, often due to more complex components like frames, motors, or extensive seals.
Replacement for an upper-end sunroof averages approximately $4,000, though this can escalate significantly for high-end models like electric vehicles or trucks with integrated systems.
These figures are influenced by factors like vehicle type, parts availability, and labor rates in Houston, which are generally in line with national averages. For precise quotes, consult with Carriage Glass & Detail - your trusted local auto glass shop since 1987.
