    Pro's - when I used to smoke a great way to vent it out the cab. I quit smoking 2 years ago so now I dunno???? Leaks, leaks, leaks. Has leaked ever since I owned the truck for the past 6 years. Most times it's not bad. A driving downpour and it will leak. When they rinse the truck at Blue beacon it pours in. Yeah, yeah it needs a seal. Never been a priority. I have heard they are all leak proNE and if you have one that doesn't leak never open it or it will.

    Leave it open at night and have a several hour downpour and then let us know what you think. I had 2 W9s with sunroofs. Personally I believe there are no pros for a sunroof. If there are, all the cons will outweigh the pros. Just another opinion.

    Leaving it open at night when it might rain is not a con its dumb sob move, yes they do leak thus creating a little extra maintnance but on many days that fresh breeze is nice and no its not the same as an open window...open window with a twin turbo is deffening

    you need to love the sun beating down on your head, there's no way to shade yourself 100% I put a vinyl wrap on it to block the sun. Only time its leaked so far was in a automatic truck wash once, and of course when its left open in a rain storm!

    ^^^^ mine has a sunscreen built into it that works good to keep the sun off of you

    Spot on. Really no pro's at all. A leaky POS option not worth the trouble.
