Default Headroom with Moonroof

Has anyone else noticed less headroom in an '08 FEH with a moonroof vs. one without?

My new '08 FEH doesn't have a moonroof and headroom is adequate (I'm 6'3"), but I sat in an '08 with a moonroof and my head was almost touching the ceiling (if I sat up straight - it did touch the ceiling). I adjusted the set like mine, but the headroom definately was less.

Ford's specs don't list a seperate headroom number for moonroof vs. non-moonroof.

Has anyone else noticed this?

That is almost always the case in vehicles with and without moonroofs. The headliner is often lower because the glass has to slide back between the roof and headliner.

I realize that - but don't they usually indicate the difference in headroom on the specs? I mean it is 1-2" difference from what I can tell.

I almost ordered mine with one and am glad I didn't.

I've never seen the specs in a brochure or on a website list the difference between moonroof/no moonroof.

I'm 6'7" and have no problem with the headroom in my 06 MMH. Having power vs manual seat may make a difference. I have mine set to the lowest height on the power seat.

I don't have the moonroof either. If the weather is that nice, I drive the convertible instead.

BTW, would not your balding head rub against the glass panel, and not the fuzzy headliner, if you had a moonroof?
