Think its all about strength in the shell... the lack of strength due to a giant hole there lol

yup im welding a plate were the hole is in mine
Some people are wierd and dont like them but the tilt slide types have drainage pripes down the B pillar to the sills and the C pillar to the boot corners, when the drain holes in the sills get blocked they rot the sills faster and the boot pipes often pop out of the drain holes and can flood/rot the boot this could be a major reason!

Ive got a factory fitted sunroof in my 83 A reg nova, it a single left up vison. I like it...gives extra light and abit more retro.
Each to there own i surpose
