I saw a Mustang for sale the other day in the Philippines I believe. The advertisement had pictures of the car and on the list of features I saw "sunroof - top of the line model." It got me thinking if the sunroof was offered in other countries, why not here? Yes, it would have added to the production cost of the car therefore increasing sticker price but... They could have limited sunroofs to the premium trim or an optional package. I'm sure lots of people would have opted for a sunroof given the chance. I hate convertibles, so a sunroof is a nice compromise.

No recent (at least S550 generation) Mustangs were made with a sunroof. If you see one, it's a custom aftermarket job.

In a way I'm glad Ford doesn't offer it, because then every dealer would order them with sunroofs to pad their profit margin, and I can do without it. Going back to the late '90s, I remember it getting really hard to find a Z28 without T-Tops because dealers would order every car that way, forcing you (me) to buy a $995 option I didn't want.

This, 995.00 option, that gives you less head room, and a leak prone roof.
My Jeep has one, I had to replace the weather stripe so it not leak As rubber dryrots and gets hard and not form a tight seal. I have used the sunroof a total of 4 times in the time I have owned it.
Not a fan of adding weight to the top of a performance vehicle and glass is not lite.

No sunroof for me thanks. Ever.
I ride motorcycles a lot and get enough wind noise that way.
And as stated by others, it's prone to issues down the road and costs WAY too much.

The Mustang I saw with a sunroof was a 2014. It looked factory.

I love sunroofs. My last handful of cars had them and never had any trouble with them. I'm guessing the shape of the roof made it difficult on these cars. There's always the verts, but I'm not pretty enough for that.

the 2014 and under could be ordered with a glass roof as the roof is flat unlike the S550 the roof is not flat.
