Default Aftermarket sunroof?

I have only recently picked up my 2010 Ram and have had it for less than a week and I'm doing some research on possibly having an aftermarket sunroof put in. The last Ram I had did not come with a sunroof. Any suggestions or recommendations.

EVERYBODY who I know who has had an aftermarket sunroof put in has had leak issues, either right from the get go, or over time.
Personally, I wouldn't do it, but if you really just gotta have one, at least find you a place with a solid reputation and an even more solid warranty...

I had an '02 Explorer with an aftermarket and never had an issue...but it was a very high quality product installed by a very reputiable company...my advice, don't go cheap.

My cousin had one installed in his BMW and it came out like crap, and leaked. It's factory or nothing.

Even the factory ones tend to have issues, usually drain tube related.

I do not care if it is a sunroof, T-Tops, or a drop top (I have had all of them). At some point... Water is going to get in. If you are willing to "put up" with an occasional drip then go for it. If it would bug you if it happened.... Do not cut a hole in the roof.
