Panoramic sunroof?

[HeckaTrebeka]

So, I'd like to open this discussion back up. I've been thinking about getting a panoramic sunroof installed to brighten up the inside of the VX. 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 was thinking something that looked like this:

I have a professionally installed electric Holl/Webb "moon-roof" in my VX and I simply cannot imagine having a VX without it. It was $1500 worth of money well spent by the previous owner.

As far as a rear-seat moon-roof, I'd say forget it. Besides the major installation headaches due to the structural integrity of the VX's roof support and resulting high dollar cost, the major problem for rear-seat passengers if the lacking side/outward visibility due to the massive C-pillar. The huge C-pillar of the VX is smack dab in the way of any outward side visibility and makes rear-seat passengers feel like they are in a cacoon with tunnel vision forced to look over/around the heads of the front-seat people and out the windshield (not good). Consequently, the rear-seat situation is not ideal for transporting people IMHO, and thus removing the rear-seat altogether is the best option for many VX'ers by making it strictly a front 2-seater vehicle.

This is what I did as well. I'm going to build a cargo box in the area directly behind my front seats.
I actually made a drawing of what I want it to look like.

Now as far as the ribs in the roof go:

If I'm going as far as cutting a hole into my roof, I'm guessing it'll be easy enough to grind/bend/hammer those ribs down since there would be a giant hole already cut in the middle of it.
