Just curious if anyone here has gone through an entire summer in Arizona with the panoramic sunroof. If so would you recommend having it or staying clear of it?
Until there is a certified, guaranteed, universally agreed upon, AC fix for the 5th Gens that have ac issues, I would stay clear. Especially where you are!
While it’s not quite Arizona, there are lots of us in Texas. I personally leave the shade closed under the sunroof most of the time, especially in summer, and my A/C has gotten the job done. I sometimes open the shade on cloudy days or at night. It definitely changes the feel of the truck!
Are you implying that the TSB issued for the A/C system isn't effective?
No need for sarcasm...
...as far as the TSB, I would want to here from those that have had poor ac performance tell us they got the " fix " and are happy with it.

Your link leads to a deadend. What TSB were you referring to?
oh, sorry, I wasn't referring to you, it was the post stating that the "sunshade was like magic"Sorry you took my question as sarcasm. I wasn't being sarcastic. I was asking if you were aware of the TSB and if so, is there some reason you believe it to be an ineffective remedy?

Ha ha. Ok, your just a pup...when you're my age you'll be grumpy too...have a great New Years!That was my post. At nearly 50 years of age and dealing with much larger and more complex issues in life and career, frankly, I’m not concerned about whether you disapprove of my “sarcasm” or not about a “sunshade” in a truck. It was an attempt at humor that clearly went over your head.

Yes, you’ll definitely want to avoid them if you’re not liking the shade in the Ram. My wife’s Audi barely has a screen over her pano roof, so I find the fabric shade in the Ram to be a welcome relief (and much cooler)!FCA's pano design lacks any significant insulation. It's just a fabric cover with possibly light window tint. The heat is easily felt through the fabric on a summer's day. I've owned a number of sunroof vehicles but this is the first pano and I wouldn't buy another one in hot climates. I installed limo dark ceramic tint for a little relief. Obviously the larger open space roof limits insulation options unless they stack/telescope when sliding open or closed but that reduces occupant headroom.
I have the same in my Audi. It's an Avant, so it has a pano sunroof that's almost as large as the one on my truck. Thankfully the Audi has light colored interior, which helps a lot. But the shade is more translucent than opaque. The one in my truck doesn't allow any light through, and I really don't notice heat coming off it. I didn't really care if I had a sunroof or not in my truck. Most of the time I keep it and the shade closed and just use the AC, but there are occasions when it's nice to have it open.Yes, you’ll definitely want to avoid them if you’re not liking the shade in the Ram.
