Had an aftermarket on my 2000 for four years, never leaked, and I loved it. Put one in my '12 GTCS as well. Well worth the money IMO.

Mine is a Webasto power, spoiler type. Ran about $900 having the dealer have their aftermarket shop install it before I took delivery.

I like the glass roof a lot, but i wanted a 12 GTCS and was too late to order one. I still would have chosen the sunroof over the glass roof because I wanted to be able to open it up. If the glass roof opened like the Lincoln's I'd have got that in a second!

I'd start with your dealer if you like them. They can at least point you to a reputable shop. It dumps rain in jacksonville every afternoon and I've never had a leak. Definitely a mod where you pay for what you get.

Me likey!!

I always wondered why a sunroof was not a option. I know that WOULD be a option we would of opted for! We were looking into the glass roof but I figured we would not like it because it would not open. We may have to look into the option of after-market....... The cost is not outrageous either.
