I have a 2005 A6, and have been fortunate enough to have a garage at home and a parking garage at work. Until now, my new job just has open parking. If I just tilt the sunroof open, will much water come in if it rains? I know they have drains around the sunroof assembly, but I don't know how much rain will still get in the car. Thanks!

Why do you want to risk water coming into your interior for? Just have it closed.

I was hoping that the conventional wisdom is that little to no water at all comes in. I'm trying to offset a summer of a black interior baking the insides vs. the odd chance that I might get a drop or two on the random rain days.

this might depend on the prevailing wind. with no wind the rain drops will fall into the rain chanel.

While driving not much water comes in with tilt- but that is because the wind is in the opposite side of the inlet. But like someone above said, it all depends on the direction of the wind.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

This is my first black interior car and I have to say it doesn't appear to be significantly worse than any other color after sitting out all day (and we have record heat right now - I guess hot is hot). I do keep the sunroof screen closed however.

I think I remember a study being done on varying colors and darker really weren't as dramatically hotter as you might logically presume. Still, I'm glad for my silver exterior, not only for less solar loading but it also looks better when dusty.

I once had opend the roof for a while in a heavy rain.
You better close the sun roof anytime when you leave the car..
