Is there an easy way to tell if my Allroad is equipped with a solar roof?

Default Is there an easy way to tell if my Allroad is equipped with a solar roof?

I understand it is part of the warm weather package along with the retractable shades in the back. I have the retractable shades but I don't know about the solar roof. Is there an obvious way to discern?

Default rear window shades were an individual option also IIRC. if you look at a solar roof from up top,

you'll see the solar cells in the glass....and as has been stated, is opaque.

Default yeah but you have to be careful

Once I parked next to a construction site and at the end of the day I found all this dust inside the car...windows were all closed. But the car wasn't hot inside...you can't have it all

Default I thought it's more like you can't see it if you are inside the car

because it has a cloth cover when it is closed. If you take the cover off you can see through it but it looks weird(unfinished)
