Does anyone have an aftermarket sunroof that DOESN'T leak?

I'm talking about the glass pop up kind, not the canvas ones.

....but if you have a canvas one that doesn't leak then post, I'll try anything that's water tight.

FWIW, every factory sunroof I've had leaked. I wouldnt trust an aftermarket sunroof to not leak.
With that said, I've considered cutting a hole in my roof (similar in size to that canvas sunroof) and putting a piece of Lexan in the hole and sealing it in. It wouldn't open and close, but I think it would be neat to have and shouldn't leak, at least not any more than every other part of my Jeep.
