  There was some discussion about this very topic recently - I think the
  cautious consensus was that the conversion would work on a bus already
  equipped with a sunroof. But it's still a significant job to do, even
  when the properly reinforced hole is already there, since there are rein-
  forcing plates underneath the pop-top hinges <hiding behind the headliner>.
