Abstract
A sunroof apparatus has a window, a sunscreen, and a sunshade. The sunshade is opaque and blocks all light from entering. The sunscreen has a plurality of openings for allowing a filtered transmission of light via the sunroof. The sunshade and sunscreen are able to be moved independent of each other to provide a driver a greater number of lighting options. The sunscreen also provides an air dampening effect when it is closed and when the window is open, thereby lessening the turbulence of the air as well as the wind noise.
