I know that for the 07's and up the factory sunroof is designed to leak...
and that was a good idea...the factory one is not designed to be water tight so they built in a water channels and drain lines, and yes during a hard rain you can reach up above the lip and feel a bit of dampness, I like this because it deals with the water, where as an after market one may be water tight now but will it be after some time, and if it starts to leak you will have to deal with the leakage and possible staining.....

I would not be too keen on some guy cutting a hole in my roof, unless I knew that he REALLY knew what he was doing.

Unless you replace the entire roof with a roof from one that had a sunroof you can not get a factory sunroof.
