sunroof in a 99 XLS 4 door

[duketter]

Ok, looking to put in a sunroof in my 4 door xls 99 explorer. Only one place in my town does this, i trust them and they also give a lifetime warranty but here is my question.....

Anybody have any manual sunroofs in their X, like I got? They say they have to take out the dome light(ok, reasonable), but can't they move it elsewhere. I actually use that thing sometimes! Also, what size sunroof did you have put in your X?

Thanks!
