1. I have a factory installed sunroof and almost never use it

About the only time I do use it is parked in the sun on a hot day I will leave it cracked to vent out hot air. Even in that instance I don't think it helps all that much.

I guess if you were a smoker it would be nice as you can crack it and let the smoke out while you're driving.

2. EVERY aftermarket sunroof I have EVER heard about has leaked terribly.

I've had many friends over the years who had them installed. EVERY one of them has leaked and done considerable damage to the car. The most notable was the Lexus with the leather seats that grew a very fine yellow hairy mold.

DO NOT DO IT!
