Sliding ragtop / Vinyl Sunroof

I couldn't find anything in search about this - has anyone considered or installed a sliding ragtop on a 4th Gen? (or any gen for that matter)

This is the first 4Runner I've had that doesn't have a sunroof and I miss the open air driving. I've heard horror stories about aftermarket sunroofs and I've always thought the vinyl tops were cool, offer a larger opening and are just plain different from the norm.

I imagine this might create some issues with structural integrity?

This article re-inspired me to look into it - http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...tml?new_sess=1

Anybody have pics of a 4Runner with a sliding ragtop?

I love open air driving too. The only thing that gets me about the sliding ragtop thing is where all the fabric sits on top at the back....there's a jeep that you can get it in from factory I don't know if its a liberty or a patriot but I just don't like how it looks like there's a folded blanked on your roof you know? If they could figure something out for that then I would be all for it. That being said, I would still do it...just not as readily.
