Good luck!
She was correct though. The roof in the Volvo goes over the head of rear seat passengers and even when the blind is closed there is no less headroom than on cars with tin roof.

It seems to be a popular cliche to complain that sunroofs compromise headroom, whether it does on any particular model or not.

Personally I an not a big fan and would not factory order a trim level specifically to gain a glass roof, whether opening or not. It just so happens that I currently have two with great big glass rooves.
