Anybody add a glass flip up lid on their hatch?
Has anybody added a glass flip up lid/moon roof on there hatch? What are your experiences with it? Cost/longevity? I wish I had one and it seems like a nice alternative without loosing head room (I'm 6'4"stock seat height is already pushing it), or high cost.

no pics.. cost was free.. i was bored and i used a grinder to cut a hole in the roof, basicly just trace the "moon roof" and droped it in.. sealed it up with silicon or something similar.. i dont recall if there was a support there that had to be cut.. if so i cut it.. i was younger so didnt care.. when i say the seals go bad.. the rubber that contacts the glass when you open and shut the thing.. time goes on they start to let water leak in. i had something similar to this
