    that would be pretty sweet.. i think you could do two seperate sunroofs... but dont know if one very big one would work.. the vx has a pretty good sized brace (3" wide maybe) that runs behind the doors across the roof

    Without a lot of custom fab/body work a second (separate) roof probably wouldn't be all that feasible. Why? Well, the external ribs on the roof that run the length of the car would probably have to be worked (flattened) to accommodate the external perimeter seal of the sunroof. If that happened then I don't see why not. Otherwise.... meh.

    Very strange this came up today... I was just on that Holl/Webb site a few days ago wondering the same thing... spooky.

    Sunroof thoughts

    I have always wondered instead of two lengthwise, if you could stick two side by side with the overhead instrument cluster mod inbetween the two.

    I think they sell little ones for vans.

    My buddy has the 2 door isuzu rodeo sport and in those they have the double sunroof. One for the front seat people and one for the backseat people. So it might be feasable in the VX too. But lets be honest.....I have no clue, just wanted to give my input.

    The channels in the rear of the roof make it a major chore!

With that support beam just behind the doors, do you think it would be possible just to add a glass roof right behind it and have a slide up sunroof in front?
    I think your question was probably already answered:

    I agree with biju, hard to imagine how you'd handle the roof ribs even if you avoid the brace that etlsport mentioned.
