    @Boghog1 speaks the truth, it's common for these to clog. I've got three buddies that have been techs for 20+ years (one retired), and every vehicle over had with a moonroof, the drains were something they'd check while I had vehicle on their lift. The retired tech, said he would see owners poke holes with coat hangers, or people disconnect or blow a hole in the tubing using too much compressed air.
    It's probably primarily the people that park under trees that drop various things.

    All the things!
    I'm with everyone else. I wouldn't add an aftermarket sunroof, but if you're insistent, here is a installer in Seattle. They installed my Katzkins and did a top notch job.

    Been researching for a non opening sunroof (moonroof) can’t find a single one that you can buy that’s non opening.

    I'm getting an inbuilt Signature Series sunroof installed with a power slider. Coming from a Wrangler, I like the sunshine and air blowing in the cab. Signature Series makes sunroofs for many auto manufacturers, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. If you want a sunroof, do it! Don't worry about it. Enjoy it. Just have it installed by a true professional. Go to the Signature sunroof website to find the closest recommended professional installer. Then send us a pic so we can be jealous!

    So probably around $1,600 installed. I guess if you really wanted one and that maybe that keeps Ya from trading in your current truck. Installed like the one above, I wouldn't worry any more about leaks than I would a factory sunroof.

    Sweet ragtop, big hole though!

    My 86 had the factory sunroof with a liner, used to pull that whole thing out and drive around most of the summer without it! Our SG Forester has a giant sunroof - we barely ever open it.

    I drove around in my BrotherInLaws 2019 with the sunroof the other weekend, it takes up a lot of headroom vs ours without it.

    Think hard before you get out the sawzall..

    I personally hate sunroofs, never use them, then wanted them.

    Multiple factory sunroofs, none leaked (Audi, VW, Infiniti). Only one I have seen leak are aftermarket.
