Default Sun roof

it all depends on wear you get it done, u'll have leaking problems in any car that gets a sunroof put in, unless you know wear to go and who is best at putting them in.

but yeah man, you can get it done, just a matter of finding someone that is good enough to do so with out any leaks.

and when you find out let me know coz i was thinking of getting one too

if they do a propper job it won't leak, pretty much the same as a factory sunroof, they will have drainage pipes that run down each corner piller to drain under the car
