ive seen westys with all kinds of stuff on the riberglass roofs..   the
factory skylight (little sunroof) is standard on the 84 up westys, tho i have seen
people put bigger skylights in there, and even ones further back in the
poptop.  ive also seen a westy w/ the bottom part of the front luggage rack cut out,
a metal grid put in its place (a-la '68-73 westys), and a regular aftermarket
sunroof installed up front.   nice idea.. still get to use your luggage rack,
and you can have a sunroof too.
