The Hyundai Sonata average ($319) runs 30% above its median ($246), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Hyundai Sonata (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Buick Encore (2015–2022), so the Hyundai Sonata data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Hyundai Sonata sunroof is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 8 for the Buick Encore — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used sunroof
- Inspect rubber perimeter glass seals for cracking, shrinkage, or weather damage that causes cabin water leaks.
- Examine assembly track guide rails and plastic lift arms for broken teeth, cracked slide shoes, or bent cable drive mechanisms.
- Verify motor connector pinouts and confirm whether the assembly includes the glass panel, frame tray, drain tubes, and sunshade curtain.
- Check glass panel tint, solar coating condition, and mounting hole geometry, as roof pressings can change between trim packages.
