Default sunroof?

Did any XJ'S come with a factory sunroof or were thet all dealer installed,every one I see with a roof looks like the outside seal around the roof ribs would not have came that way.

I've never seen an XJ with one but from my understanding they were dealer installed. I've also heard they leak when the body is flexed a lot, not exactly sure about that but its what I've heard.

Sunroofs suck. Not worth the extra wind noise, rattles, and water leaks.

I have a sunroof I put it in and I love it. It doesn't leak either

My iPhone can post where it wants, when it wants!

I have one. Leaks. Doesnt even work anymore. The little control panels just flashes at me. Kinda pisses me off at times. I loved it when it worked...

My '89 had one, I thought it was factory, it had a manual crank opener and the trim on it matched my interior.

I seen one done some where, may have been NAXJA, when I searched on Bing for sunroofs.

I've thought about doing a snap on ragtop for years or something like this: http://www.slidingragtops.com/17.html?sm=76491
