Default split moonroof???

I have looked everywhere and can't find any. I am looking for the split moonroof like the one on the scion fuse concept. I have seen something similar on the maxima except they just have a single moonroof. Anyone seen these or know a place to look for them?

If you want something like that, your looking at a total custom job. Be ready to spend a crap load of money on that too. would be nice, the one thing I hate about my xb is now sunroof, but I know its a lot of money.

I don't know why people enjoy sunroofs so much. Personally I hate them, they effect the structual integrity of the car some. Add lots of weight. The sun comes glaring in sometimes during day(depending on the visor is open or not). Sometimes you don't noice the visor being open or closed till the sun blinds you lol. I just think there a waste of money. But then again I am a sports car fanatic. I also hate convertibles as well. But good look on your search. To each his own, and more power to being yourself.

It's going to be a total custom job. The way the sheet metal is formed on the roof will have to totally redone. Two issues come to mind (besides the cost factor): light/heat control and leakage. Moonroofs are notorious for leaking as the seals age.

There, fixed it for you. lol

I'm going to be putting in a moonroof in my xB, too. Nothing elaborate or panoramic, but probably just a simple sliding one. I'm a big fan of these and was thoroughly disappointed to find out that the xB's did not come with one as an option, apart from the RS 5.
