Sunroof

Honestly id rather have the sliding rear window. But you can add an aftermarket job. But it may never be as good as the oem unit. Depending on the shop who installs it

I don't even see a need for the rear windows opening in my truck.

I guess you don't have many people in the back seat of your truck.. When I had an extended cab with no slider there was nothing worse then being trapped in the back with no opening windows!

no one rides in the bed of my truck. Having been a fireman for 20 years I've seen what transpires with bed riders first hand. Its not nice. I've seen it from 5 mph rollovers while 4 wheeling to freeway speeds. bad mojo .

All sunroofs leak a bit, factory or aftermarket. That's why they have drip trays and drain hoses. As long as you find an experienced shop, you should be fine.

All sunroofs leak a little? No they do not. I have had them in at least 8 vehicles, 7 factory and one aftermarket, and none leaked a drop.

I do pretty often. They have rear vents so it's ok. I prefer having the rear windows so they can't open. No leaks now. :)

So my girlfriend thinks that my truck needs a sunroof. It has a lift and 35's on it so you really wouldn't be able to see it from the outside. My only concern is the possible leaking I would have since it would be a aftermarket not a factory sunroof. Does anyone have any experience with a aftermarket sunroof?

 

This was basically the only option I didn't get with my truck. My dealer said they would put one in for me. I decided I don't need a sunroof but they would have done it. I don't remember the exact price, it was back in August, but I remember thinking it was pretty reasonable.

Love my factory sun roof, hate the factory bug screen, noise maker POS. I'm about to purchase the wind visor for the sunroof from weathertech.

I had one in my last truck (a Frontier), and used is a few times. Driving to work one day and it sounded like a gun shot above me. Thing exploded for absolutely no reason I could ever figure out. It cost me $500 for a used part to be installed. When I went looking for my Sierra, I specifically did NOT want one. Shop that replaced it for me said they have a couple come in each week from all makes. I didn't get my money's worth out of it.

Sounds like a good excuse to trade it for an LTZ or High Country.

What year model GM truck are you referring to? My 2009 and 2014 extended and double cabs all 4 windows rolled down. Matter of fact when I went from my 01 to my 09 I was so used to reaching down and hitting the button to get in the gate at work. When I got in the 09 I hit the rear window button all the time.

Does anybody have pictures of inside and outside of the 2014?

I don't know where you are in Illinois, but Top Coverage in Elgin does sunroofs. have heard good things about them. really thinking about putting in a sunroof in my truck. i have an aftermarket sunroof (Webasto) in my HHR. it was already in when i got it 3 years ago. have no issues with it.

I love the rolling down back window in my brothers tundra. Good to get the cold ones from the cooler while going to the lake or beach. Sunroof gives any vehicle a sexier look. Is like a pu**y magnet with a sunroof lolWicked Galaxy Note 3

I've had sunroofs in my last 6 or so vehicles. I use mine all the time. Don't imagine I will go without one now. I also use the rear window slider all the time. It really lets the air move with the windows open.

 

My last aftermarket was a while ago but it was a Webasto and we had no issues with it.
