I don't have an aftermarket sunroof in my car, and would not consider
installing one.  Car manufacturers who supply sunroofs as original
equipment provide special bracing in the roof so that the structure of
the car is not weakened.  The local butchers who hacksaw half the roof
off and then drop in a plexiglass panel provide no such reinforcement.
The result is that should you roll the car, or have an accident that
places considerable strain on the roof, passenger safety will be
compromised.  No thanks!!
