Installing a sunroof after purchase.

[LaxDfns15]

Don't cut into your roof. You think an aftermarket is going to be put in as well as something that was meant to be there from the first place? You're going to spend at least as much, if not more, for someone to cut into your roof and put a non-factory window in there.

Like others have mentioned, the warranty lasts as long as the business does. I don't really foresee FCA going out of business faster than a smaller shop.

Well... there goes my plan for T-Tops.

No way in he!! would I ever consider that option.

.... someone has to take a hand-held device and cut a giant hole in your roof. That makes it risky no matter what. If a human is involved in the cutting, it could go wrong. ....

You're absolutely right, I haven't disputed that one bit. That's why I'd find a good shop if you're going to do it.
You'll also note that I've said more than once that I'd recommend the factory roof if possible. Don't take my responses to mean that I think it's the best option. I'm simply saying that it is an option, that can be done without issues. I'm also not saying that even though it can be done correctly that it will be done correctly.
People lost their minds (citing the same concerns about leaks and making holes) when I mentioned putting cab lights on one of my old trucks. I ended up doing my own install because I was the only one I trusted drilling holes into the roof of a brand new truck. They turned out great and I had no leaks the entire time I owned it. I've actually done it to several trucks now. If I can put lights in properly, someone can put a roof in properly. Obviously that's a much bigger hole with more potential issues, but it CAN be done. Not saying it SHOULD be done.

No way would I trust anyone cutting my roof by hand.

That's the "premium" option with the West Virginia Chrome fasteners.

Simply put, I wouldn't try it! Wait until next year comes around or your next upgrade time, and get it with the sunroof then. Its doable but its hard to find the right shop that will not only do it right, but if its not done right one that will make it right to you afterward. As a dealer we have seen to many horror stories of a promise of a job well done, then when its not delivered the customer is treated like a nuisance and doesnt get help or a resolution. Would hate to see that happen to you!

A friend of mine just did he's 2023 F250 and he replaced the roof section like seeing in this video and looks like it came like that from dealership, he got the whole system in a salvage yard for $700 and installed himself,

I was wondering if they had the same replaceable roof section type that you can replaced instead of cutting and I found this video, even though the guy in the video choose to cut which I wouldn't do even if is more work I rather install it properly..

That would be the only way I would consider doing this if I can find the parts at an affordable price..

Has anyone done it? Have you had issues with the work you had done?
I know they're notorious ( not necessarily ram but in general) for leaking as is from factory. Im thinking I just need to purchase the truck with it but, this is basically everything I want besides that.

In Season 6 episode 5 of Texas Metal they put a factory panoramic roof in a Ford F350 Raptor Build. They make it look doable. It goes in a lot easier than I thought but with the help of a Ford repair guy. Knock out a few spot welds and put in the repair parts from Ram and you have a new panoramic roof!

I don't use the one in my truck but it was there when I got it.
