Default Anyone install a sunroof on a crew cab?

The reading I've done says not to install on a crew cab as the ribbed roof isn't right for it. Does the Avalanche have a different roof than the crew cab? Anyone done this?

some crew cabs have stock sunroofs and I seen on cruzin local with a full rag top so I don't see why you can't do it. I would get done at a shop because there's no point for error.

I didn't think the roof was different in the trucks. If they are referring to the liner then that's changeable. plus it's only cardboard and carpet.

I'd love to do one of these. Probably to much to do it though.

I agree, no way I would do that to a truck. I think it would hurt resale and just plain bother me. But it would be cool as a factory option.
