Anyone seen or tried out one of these? Saw it on Facebook. I don't know if I like the idea of covering up my sunroof panel, although also I pretty much never use it. So probably shouldn't really be a concern.

I have one in my 100 series and I like it a lot. When I have my roof top tent mounted it covers the sunroof anyway.
It was a great location to mount my Starlink router.

A large, heavy, metal object over my head (and my passenger’s head) that isn’t solidly mounted, wasn’t designed to be there, and adds stuff that isn’t needed and will likely cause injury in a crash and reduces headroom and increases distraction? Nah, I’m good!

This right here.
+1 less is more
While yes I fully appreciate the use of space and the application, I’d have to agree with the critics above.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why we need MOlLe panels everywhere?
What year 100 do you have? I have an 06, and the “mounting” inside the liner won’t hold the weight of the brackets/panel.
No. I’m right there with ya. For each is own of course, but I don’t get it either man. I want my stuff tucked away, secured, and rattle free.
I don’t want it displayed and out in the open for prying eyes and sticky hands.
Maybe it adds 3 cool guy points when you go to Overland Expo and show off all your gear?

I have a 05. I will try and remember to take a picture at lunch. From what I recall, it doesn't install as cleanly on the +05. The headline bulges where it mounts to the moonroof.
I only have the starlink router and weboost transmitter mounted on it. It's been solid for the 2 years so far.

I need retake the pictures once I have my wifes help. It’s hard to take a photo how it interfaces with one hand while trying to move the headliner down. It is jammed into a metal lip of the moonroof. Unfortunately there is a gap or bulge in headliner.

You can’t install it like in ORS video as the lip around the moonroof in the 05+ changed in design and won’t support the weight (it just liner and doesn’t have the metal lip protruding as far) per my speculation.
Another excuse to add more junk into the rig. Less is more for sure
If the two guys I respect most on this forum (bloc and mcgaskins)say no, that's good enough for me!!
