    I hear you on saving money, but are you prepared to take a band saw to your roof? That gives me chills just thinking about it...

    Compared to my Legend build, that's not a big deal *lol*. I'll post that over here one day to give y'all an idea. I completely gutted that car, interior and engine bay, and trunk, to rebuild it. With time, preparation, and patience, yeah, I'd take my Rotozip to the VX w/out much hesitation.

    I'm assuming I can take the Rodeo/Passport headliner and transfer it over?

    Eternal21--- My VX has a professionally installed aftermarket Electric Moon-Roof (approx $1,500 installed) and I can't imagine owning a VX without it. To my knowledge; no one here on this forum has ever done a "transplant" from a Rodeo/Passport, and you would be venturing in unchartered waters.

    The most inexpensive route and with the least amount of installation headaches, would be to install a simple non-electric "Pop-Top" version manual sunroof using the existing headliner.
