I would like to second this. Aftermarket sunroofs really suck. My dads old 
Grand prix had one, and it was continually leaking (why someone would buy a 
brand new car and put in an aftermarket roof only to trade it in a year later 
is beyond me). I wouldn't even bother screwing with it, it's not worth the 
aggrevation later.
