Checking prices today on NADA.com and noticed a sunroof delete option for the Limited model. Option code GWA with a $345 credit. Does anyone know about this? Does this replace the panoramic roof for the single pane version same as the one with the DVD option? Does this mandate the DVD? Only available for the Limited model from what I can see.
if you add the rear dvd in a limited or overland then you should end up with a single pane sunroof. i wasnt aware you could delete a sunroof from a limited altogether though, marlon would know for sure.....i think he has said before that he hasnt seen one limited come down the line with zero sunroof. i could be mistaken though.
You can't delete the sunroof from the Limited or Overland. GWA is the sales code for the single pane sunroof, which you get with the DVD system. GWA is also a standalone option on Laredo.
There should be a sunroof delete option; I wish there was so I could buy one of the multiple Limiteds or Overlands floating around Chicago dealers. Relatedly, they should make the 2-speed transfer case standard in all 4x4s...because they do not, I can't even find a Laredo to suit my needs. Chrysler, are you listening?
UPDATE 11/23/2010 - I recently gave in and bought a Limited anyway, and the $%# panoramic sunroof is growing on me after all...so it isn't so bad.
I am just wondering. If this is a true delete of the Command View roof then why does it cost $1195 to get one added to the Laredo but only $345 to have it deleted from the Limited? If you do the math this is a difference of $850 possibly the cost of a single pane sunroof. I think this choice gives many buyers a real choice.
I don't think so. The way it reads in NADA.com is that it is a delete option. The DVD player option is seperate and indicates that the single pane sunroof is included with that option. Still confused.
The NADA site is misleading. The option is not actually "sunroof delete." The option is to have a single pane sunroof, instead of the CommandView dual pane sunroof.
Since the dual pane sunroof is standard on Limited, choosing the Power Sunroof (single pane) gets you a $345 credit.
There is no option to remove the sunroof completely.
I agree with you. However it does not say that the "single pane will replace the command view" as such. I hope you are right and if you are this makes my choice so much easier. I have one of these panoramic type sunroofs on another vehicle. It is great when fully opened and I never had any issues with it but I do see longevity being a concern. Also the glass that actually slides open on the Command View is probably just a little bigger than the single pane version, the rest of the glass is stationary. I Would take the single pane any day because I see this as less problematic probably 5+ yrs or so down the road. I use the sunroof often but since I usually ride alone or with one passenger I don't really care if the sunroof extends beyond the front seats.
Also the glass that actually slides open on the Command View is probably just a little bigger than the single pane version, the rest of the glass is stationary.
The glass that slides open on the CommandView is identical to the "normal" power sunroof. The only difference between the two is that the CommandView has a fixed glass panel behind it.
And the "delete" option you see is absolutely, 100% just substituting the "normal" power sunroof for the CommandView. It is NOT a sunroof delete.
I don't see any additional reliability issue with the CommandView vs. the regular power sunroof. The portion most likely to hae issues would be the sliding portion anyway... the fixed portion is just that... fixed in place.
Now I am seeing more changes to the NADA.com website. The Laredo has the GWA sunroof for $800 price and says commandview is no longer factory orderable. Limited remains as a delete for -$345 and now the overland also has the $800 GWA power sunroof option. No mention of the rear seat DVD being paired with this at all.
I am about to order Overland and trying to decide between CommandView and smaller sunroof with rear dvd. I've had a terrible experience (wind noise at highway speeds) with the panaromic roof on my '08 CTS that they could never quite fix right (no more GM for me). Anyways a couple quick questions:
With the smaller sunroof, does this increase/decrease safety of vehicle in rollover situation? Any added benefit to placing objects on the roof/rack system. i.e. holds more weight without panaromic sunroof? I've read many positive reviews about low noise level in new GC, is this everyone's experience with panaromic and smaller sunroof, same noise level or worse with one?
No difference in roof rack capacity with different sunroofs, and the wind noise or road noise is nonexistent with my limited with panoramic compared to past vehicles.
Laredos can now have the "normal" sunroof. I'm not sure nor have I seen (or just wasn't paying attention) to a Limited or Overland with a normal sunroof. Those that DID have one had the Roof Mounted Entertainment System.
I have the panoramic and the noise is very minimal, less than my last car with standard roof. I didn't want it at first but I'm really glad I have it now.
Unlike the Jeep's roof, the big panoramic front roof section on the Edge does indeed move and it is quiet due to a windscreen that pops up when it opens. No buffetting at all, the Jeep's command view roof also have this from what I can see. The windscreen is a cloth mesh that is spring loaded on a metal frame that deploys each time the roof is opened. My issue with the Jeep command view is that although the glass area is large, only the small front section actually opens. I thought that the entire front section should open but it does not. That's why IMO just get the single pane roof and save some $. Why bother having a fixed glass over the front section if it doest not move? I don't know if the Jeep single pane roof has this windscreen as well?
If you look at the roof of the jeep compared to the size of the panoramic glass there is NO way it could possibly move. There is not enough roof left for it to slide into. As far as the fixed glass over "front section" I have a regular moveable sunroof in the "front section" with the fixed glass behind. I dont know of any that have total fixed glass on the roof. Other vehicles such as the edge have a smaller glass to roof ratio and that is probably what give it the ability to move. IMHO you dont want something that big moving just asking for leaks or other issues 5-10 years down the line.
