Glad to know it's okay to ride with the skylight open.  15 years of a
functioning skylight sounds great!  While parked on very hot days I like to
keep it open, and if I have multiple errands, it's a nuisance to keep
opening and closing it.

Another thing I was wondering about...has anyone ever replaced the skylight
with a real glass moon roof, or is that not feasible?
