Do we love them or hate them?
Do you have one you couldn't live without, or would you never put one on your car even if they paid you to?
Wondering what everyone thinks... pros and cons.

And it's a place to drop all the spent shells for reloading later. The driver should wear a hat though as they can be hot. LOL

You think the roof protects them from the muzzle blast? Have you noticed they are a might jumpy for the next few days at any sudden noise? If you want to prove it, hand them your 300 with bolt on empty chamber but tell them it has a live round... watch them tense up and 'click'.... LIKE HELL I FLINCH!... Just be prepared for a temper tantrum... but before you laugh too much, have it done to yourself and see if you are a non flincher!
Last time out I had dropped a deer with my 45/70 and another sprang from the side... So i lever another round quickly and 'CLICK' ....empty chamber... met by guffaws of laughter from my mate at my 2 inch flinch...
Well either that first deer was terribly unlucky or my flinch as I explained for the rest of the evening was the calculated lead on a moving target...

I myself was a Sako 7mm Remington Mag fancier.
never saw a deer when I used to hunt.
NOW I SEE THEM EVERYWHERE I GO! STALKING SUCKS< YA GOT TO MAKE NOISE LIKE THE HEAVY ENGINGE LABOUR NOISES ASENDING A STEEP TRACK IN LOW RANGE< AND GOING ON FAMILY OUTINGS TO THE SNOW! THEY'RE WEVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!

The only real worry I have is leaks.
Is there a way around it, or is it just a case of it eventually leaking anyway?

It will leak... murphys law, or rust around edge... leak first probably...
I have a sunroof, in my nissan, and I have not any dramas with it other than the occasional sunburn on the top of the skull, rarely have it opened though when seriously offroad, the dust and low hanging objects are reasons enough. Doesn't leak, just have to replace the seals every now and again, done it once in 3 years. Bit of vaseline on it works wonders as well.
I've got a electric factory one in the Jabber.
They have an inner panel you can slide across to block out the light/sun.
Doesn't leak, seems to work ok, not sure if I could not do without one though.
At least if I get wedged and can't open any doors I can get out, if the electrics fail there is a winder attachment to open it manually also.
