I would give you mine out of my LTZ if I could.... I am not a big fan of them... it is just a potential spot for a leak IMHO.

Depends on how bad you want it.
Me? I could take a factory sunroof or leave it, so I'd never ADD one after the fact, even for as little as $500, because it's not worth my money and I'd probably worry about some type of failure on an aftermarket one.

I'm a fan of Webasto 'roofs. In a past life, I worked for a shop that installed them, vinyl tops, convertible tops, leather interior conversions, flip-down TV systems, etc. Supposedly, Webasto supplies the 'roofs to auto manufacturers as OEM equipment and they modified those designs to have a universal fitment to be installed in the aftermarket. In 2003, about two years after I left that job, I had them install one in my S10 and it performed flawlessly at least up until I sold that truck more than a year ago. I rarely drove that truck with it closed. I'm sure it's still fine because the current owner hasn't mentioned anything about it. I paid around $800-$850 for it in a cash deal and it included the shade and one-touch control option. I think those are now standard features.

My personal belief is that the leaking sunroof mentality comes from the old days when aftermarket and even OEM roofs weren't as advanced. Also, no matter how good the 'roof is, the installation has to be on point. The place I worked at had a lot, if not most of their jobs from outfitting new cars at dealerships so they had a standard and reputation to maintain.

When I did some work with Webasto in Germany in 2011-2012 they were making OEM sunroofs for BMW and Mercedes.
