    I remember about 20 years ago, companies like JC Whitney and Pep Boys had symetrical mini sunroof options. But they only manually tilted up and didnt slide back. Not sure about simple removability either. (I know I saw a pair on a mid 80s Cavalier)

    They may still be around, but almost seems a waste of time

    I had a guy I worked with back when I was an Oldsmobile mechanic that put the top of a Olds Vista Cruiser on his Toyota Land Cruiser. It was a neat add, and since he was a good bodyman it was easy for him to do on the cheap.

    If you don't remember or know about the Vista Cruiser here is a link.

    Not removable, but might be an option for those wanting to have more view.

    FYI ... member Baxman used to have a VX with a powered sunroof installed...a real nice setup Ive seen in person...
    It was a retracting fulling opening tinted glass style....


    I am thinking also of making the one of my VXs a pick-up...with a soild rear partition and rear glass window...Full internal Roll cage, and a small bed for tools and real sized spare tire (pre-runner stlye)

    I also have a fully powered sunroof, tinted, retracts into the roof or can pop up for venting, has the sliding cover as well inside. I love it:

    Folks, My 2001 Dakota 4WD 5 spd V8 quad cab gets ~ 18.5 MPG around town (as long as I drive reasonably) and 22 mpg on the highway (under 65 MPH).

    I do agree however, don't try to make the VX something it's not.
