I just got a 2000 that has a moon roof. But it isnt glass, you cant see out of it, only when it is open. Is this normal, If it is it is kinda gay. I wish it were glass.

yes, that is the way it is...
mainly cuz on the inside, it has fabric there. i like it how it is.
on a somewhat similar note: whats the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof?

ahhh the age old question...what you have is a sunroof (kinda out of date...but nonetheless)
heres something i just looked up to find the difference
"The answer?
"Sunroof" is the generic term used to describe an operable panel in a vehicle roof which can let in light and/or air. "Moonroof" is a term created by Ford in the 70s, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs.
Hmmm, so all moonroofs are sunroofs, yet not all sunroofs are moonroofs? We found further clarification -- "sunroof" is the term originally used to describe a metal panel that would only allow light or air in when opened. A "moonroof," on the other hand, is a glass panel that can allow light in even when it is closed (provided, of course, you slide back that nifty fabric-covered panel to expose the glass).
True sunroofs, those made just of metal, appear to have gone the way of 8-tracks in automobiles, and these days, most "sunroofs" are really "moonroofs" -- panels of tempered glass, usually tinted, that tilt up to allow a flow of air, or slide back into the roof entirely, giving the car occupants a brief but tantalizing glimpse of life in a convertible.
