Trying to figure out if the glass moonroof changes anything for roof load on a 2023 Ascent. The seller doesn't have the original sticker and I've been looking at a Touring trim with the panoramic roof, but I also found a Limited without it for less money. I know the Ascent roof rails are rated for 176 pounds dynamic and 700 pounds static . The manual doesn't call out any different capacities for the glass roof specifically, so it should apply across all trims whether it has the moonroof or not . That's also what the owner's manual says, 176 pounds in motion with the roof crossbars and gear . But I've also seen some forum discussions where people say they're worried about the glass breaking if they put a tent on it. Is that a real concern or am I overthinking it? Just trying to get this sorted before I decide which one to go with.
