Glass sunroof?

Has anyone here tried replacing the sunroof with glass one? How hard would this be?

do a search for "lexan roof" in the 2nd gen section and you should see the guy making those. The original glass moonroofs were available from Mazda finish line and 2 aftermarket companies, but are very rare near impossible to find.

i bought one of the original aftermarket ones, it cracked on me during the winter... i dont blame that on the quality, just the sht luck that makes up my life.
What i did for my Ford Probe's sunroof: remove the existing sunroof panel, cut out out the center, leaving two inches all around (like a frame) and insert some thick tinted glass.. i got mine from a junk yard car's sunroof because it has curviture.
I bought a aluminum h-molding from home depot, use some silicone/fiberglass resin , then bondo it, sand it, paint it, looks great with the raise and you get some sun in.
