Default GlassBack or Sunroof?

I have been thinking about getting a CDC Glassback roof installed on my '05. Does anybody have one? Is it as nice as it seems? I saw one at the All Ford Nationals at Carlisle this year and fell in love with it. Just wondered if anyone has one and if there have been any problems like leakage, too much sun, etc.

What are your thoughts about a large sunroof?

I sent an email to Saleen about the Saleen Scenic Roof, but haven't heard back from them. If it's possible to get, it seems to be more aerodynamic than the GlassBack in my opinion.

One of the Stangpede guys here in San Diego has one, and it's NICE looking...When I first saw it, I thought that they'd just had the top of the car painted black. Then I started checking out the interior and realized that the top was a Glass Back. It looks SHARP.

I don't know what it'd be like to be driving around in it, though, whether you'd roast in it from the sun beating down all day (inland San Diego county can hit up into the 100's during the summer; add a glass top and I'm sure that'd be magnified). They still look really nice, though!

the glass is the same shape as the roof... how could the scenic roof be more aerodynamic that a flat piece of glass? Just curious...

With the GlassBack there is apparently more of a gap between the front window and roof, and between the rear window and roof. Also, there is apparently extra plastic molding on the GlassBack, or larger plastic molding perhaps.

There are pretty good pictures of the SSR here - http://www.netcarshow.com/saleen/200...1_scenic_roof/, compared to the GlassBack here - http://www.glassbackroof.com/image_gallery.html
