    There must be a reason why the factory did not have the option for it besides the rippled roof line. I guess if you are a total DIY'er, fabricator, or sunroof lover, go for it. IMO, leave it be and save the dollars for other VX goodies, suspension , shocks, wheels, tires, etc.

    My guess is cost. If they put a sunroof in Rodeos/Amigos/Troopers I can't see why it would be less safe on a VX. But I can see how it would have pushed the price tag even more out of reach for most buyers in 1999-2001.

    I say go for it!

    If it only costs me $100, that's not much out of pocket. I haven't decided that I'm going this particular route, but I have every intention of having a sunroof. This just seemed the most logical way to do it: 1) it recycles parts that would just be sitting there, 2) it is a *lot* less expensive and 3) it could be another mod that other VX owners could incorporate due to the low entry cost.
