This is great to see, a sunroof would be one of the few mods I would definitely go for. I drive with my CRV's sunroof wide open all the time - summer, winter, sometimes even when it's lightly raining. Make it one of your spoiler-style openings and it would be perfect.

Cool also to see an aftermarket supplier here in the forums already at this very early stage. Welcome, @DONMAR Sunroofs , I hope you are the first of many!

Awesome, this is one of my planned mods.
we very rarely use AC, but have the sun roof open times. Glad the vendor is in contact with Slate. Would be great if Slate offered a roof panel with a blank, ready to be replaced at will.

Bed topper required for our 3 boxers, sunroof required for ever loving wife. All else optional. Apparently Donmar had no local presence, so DYI.

DONMAR sunroofs are sold and installed by independent professional vehicle customizing shops nationwide. We have dealers on several of the islands.

They photoshopped a sunroof onto the SUV shell's REMOVEABLE SUNROOF.
The photo mock-up was to show that a sunroof can be added to the rear as well.

If one looks carefully at an overview video, there does appear to a latch inside the SUV roof. Not finding any official spec or info describing or showing a removable panel in the SUV top. SLATE may or may not offer a removable panel as an optional or standard feature in the SUV roof.
Perhaps you can share additional info?

None came up in google.
and the Donmar site not user friendly in that regard. Should be able to enter Zip code, not send a query. I really dislike when companies use captive email as way to capture info.

Slate Auto's website contains very, very little detailed information about ANYTHING about this truck. The website seems to be just a pleasant tease to get people interested and excited, while not informing. Of course, it's still very early and maybe they don't want to promote a feature they may later withdraw prior to the beginning of production, so who knows?

I have not seen an actual picture or video of the rear roof panel removed from the vehicle. However, I've watched dozens of videos about the Slate Truck, many produced and posted by notable auto industry media outlets, and I know of 2 videos posted to YT that have the journalists saying implicitly that the optional SUV shells' large roof panel quickly and easily pops out for open air driving. Both of these videos are filmed in Slate Auto's offices, so it's safe to assume the journalists are being monitored by Slate reps feeding them this information. I've posted links below at the time mark where the rear roof panel is discussed.:





Come on. You have to admit that it's kinda funny that you photoshopped a picture of a sunroof being installed on another larger sunroof! It's an understandable error considering the lack of real info about this truck. It's frustrating how I'm getting a lot more useful information from auto journalists than I am from Slate Auto themselves. They really ought to build up their website.
