Not four, but I did put a single one in the '87 GL I used to have. You need to find
one that has two latches, rather than the single one in the middle. Then take down the
a/c tunnel, starting at the front, not a big job. Put the skylight in and replace the
tunnel. The latches are accessible from either side of the tunnel. Worked great.

Have any non-westy owners with the central column for AC, tried to put in a
skylight.., specifically.., four of these.., two on either side of the AC column..,

I hate it when you're parked and the just sits there heating up..., I do have tinted
windows..., the paint is white.., the interior is gray as opposed to black..., and
I've tried that thing that holds your hatch open in a locked postition.., and the side
windows..., don't really do anything as far as I'm concerned..,

I did have car with a sunroof once., and though it did nothing for cooling the car
while driving.., while parked I did notice a big difference.., esp if I was sitting
under the sunroof.., it was cooler when the sunroof was open, on a hot california
day..,

Of course if a skylight could automatically close when it rains.., that would be
cool..,
