YouвЂ™ll see exactly what it means for your home when the bill arrives. Some experts estimate an open-window policy might even double your heating costs. Any chink in your homeвЂ™s armor - or thermal envelope, in energy nerd circles - allows heated air to escape, which kicks your heater into overdrive to replace it. Cohabitation is certainly a lesson in compromises great and small, isnвЂ™t it? Perhaps some facts from an outside observer can help you two work this out.ДЇirst, the bad news: Your hubby is right that leaving a window open while the heat is on will certainly cost you money (and burn more of whatever power source you use for fuel). Usually, when I get letters like this, itвЂ™s the energy miser in the house writing: My crazy spouse insists on leaving the window open at night in winter! What a disaster! So itвЂ™s lovely to hear the other side of the story. It has put me off buying a set of roof bars so that I could fit my roof box.To support our nonprofit environmental journalism, please consider disabling your ad-blocker to allow ads on Grist.

Shortly afterwards I saw a photo of a cracked roof which was blamed on the roof rack. One thing that worries me is roof racks, I paid to have the rails fitted when we bought it. I got some foil bubble wrap and slotted it behind the sun blinds and this seems to of sorted the heat and made it a little darker which makes me comfortable but we are all individuals and this wouldnвЂ™t be for everyone. I have only got the glass roof because at the time there were no other choices but the glass. I agree it tends to make the car into a greenhouse in my opinion but IвЂ™ll not argue that point. Ive had people in the car and they love the glass roof.

I personally am not a lover of the sun beating down on me especially when driving, keep the blinds closed is a solution. Im glad it doesnвЂ™t open as this gives a better chance of being water proof.

I hate sunroofs as to me itвЂ™s one more place the car can leak, in fairness probably as they grow older which of course many are now. So basically the glass panoramic roof is marmite, you either love it or hate it and itвЂ™s each to his own. Mine bends in half and stows in a rear footwell when not in use. Similar to those concertina ones seen in Europe, usually advertising something.

With my steel-roof Roomster, the already big side windows mean the interior heats up very quickly in bright sun, I bought a big roll of stiff but rollable foam-backed radiator reflector foil, cut a piece to fit across the dash-top, wedge it up behind rear-view mirror when parked up. Think it did have a retractable blind, but I had to leave this open to give me just-about-enough headroom. Then a Rover Maestro diesel, tilt up or retract down and back into the headlining sunroof, worked manually via a handle, again these have drain hoses that are prone to block and cause leaks, and annoyingly reduce the cabin headroom significantly. My first diesel, a Mk1 AStra, had a simple tilt-up hinged glass sunroof, and yes it dripped on the front seats, and I had to glue a piece of radiator-foil foam over the inside to stop the cabin turning into a sauna in summer. I'm with Clive (NZ100) on this one, living in an often damp climate, can't see the point of buying a car with a nice weatherproof cabin, comfy seats, heating, fresh air, air-con to keep it cool in summer AND THEN DELIBERATELY CUTTING A BIG HOLE IN SAID ROOF RIGHT OVER WHERE YOU SIT! My son could not believe that the roof didn't open and it was just an extra window! Especially when the window motor wasn't working. I suppose they expect you to keep the air con on all the time. The shades have been fastened together with a large elastic band, as they slide open some way on their own, so you are forever closing them again. It's now a lot cooler in the car when the sun is beating down. I have stuck them to the sunroof, and then closed the sliding blinds. I bought six of those sunshades which are usually stuck onto side windows with little suckers. If it opened like a sunroof does, that would be something! And the sliding shades don't seem to make any difference, summer or winter. I mean seriously? Surely you are looking where you are going when you're driving? Why do you need one? It's too hot in the car the summer, with the sun beating down onto it, and colder in the winter. I finally sorted out the too hot/too cold business with the panoramic roof window.
