so im guessing....
 

so im guessing that all you guys have manual sun roofs?
mines power and i havent found any problems with it?
oh and about the filling it in with a sheet of metal. yea it would work but it wouldnt look good at all without tons of work because the roof has a curve to it and it wouldnt be easy to get the same curve with a welded in sheet of metal. its different with shaving door handles and what not because of the smaller surface area.
Just my $.02
