I can't tell you of how many times I've ridden in cars with leaking tops, and/or sunroofs, and I just say no to it here and now (before the wife just reaches over to try it out!). She also opens failing/loose car windows a dozen times after I tell her to wait until I fix it, inevitably breaking it a hundred miles from home, in inclement weather. Not chancing the sunroof here. I might even eventually code out the passenger window control, too.
