    From what I understand it can be a pain to get them to seal sometimes.

    Sunroofs aren't that cool.

    Right....

    they're not at ALL for protecting the occupant from the imminent roof collapse due to expressively high speeds.

    Forget the sunroof. Just one more thing that creaks on these cars and will drive you nuts.

    why, you don't understand that the proper installation and design will make the car more rigid?

    Sure...........

    But you're better off investing in having SFC's fabbed and strut tower braces.... not these weak bars we have.

    I do...but do you understand the money you put into a roll cage...

    You could buy another capable platform unlike a WBody?

    Just putting that out there for you to sit on.

    The roof can be unbolted and a panel with sunroof installed it also has very strong glue / sealent along the seams. you will also need to take the windshield and back glass out and reseal them.
