Glass roof?

[ManTownMedia]

It appears to me as a non-owner (yet) that the S has no option of a metal roof?

I can't see any pros for a glass roof in Australian sun, and several cons. Am I too sensitive?

Get the Glass roof - I am in TX and it is fine...just tint the windows.
Let me know if you need a referral code!

I'm in TX and chose the metal roof for the same concerns about heat and brightness.
Friends have since taken delivery of glass-roofed versions, so having had chance to experience both for a few months I wish I would have gone glass.

Its beautiful, the heat difference seemed negligible, the factory tint seems sufficient to prevent obnoxious brightness, and it provides better headroom.

I was interested in the owners' views from Australia in particular: the UV in Australian sunlight is much harsher than other places - and I've lived in the Southern US and other tropical countries. The general opinion seems to be it's not much of a problem.

What about the structural integrity? Surely even strengthened glass gives less interior protection than a metal, crumpling roof?
