Put the sky roof on. If you are considering one here's the info I wish I had before I spent the money:
Pros:
- blacks out front roof. I don't like glass roofs (I put shades on my Tesla and Rivian R1S).
- easy to open. Flip two handles and pull back
- less T-top squeaking/creaking noise
Cons:
- not sure if it is truly weather tight, seems like there may be a potential leak
- the cross bars for the door jamb seem way over sized and they look bad
- in open position it sticks above roof ~6" so if you are like me a tight to get into the garage - it will need to be closed to park in garage.
- I had hopes of it being more open area than it is
- looks like a pain to install and remove, I had plans to swap roofs for winter season
- my biggest complaint: Closed and over 60mph it gets loud - like really loud. You won't be able to have a phone call over 70mph and it would be real hard to have a conversation with any passenger over 80mph. I'd probably return if I could due to the noise.
 
Thanks for sharing these useful points.
 
Is the sky roof an OEM option, or is this an aftermarket solution? Can you share a link to it?
 
It is on GMC's accessories site and looks like they increased the price almost $700 when I bought it. - shoot, maybe I'll cut you a discount!

 
Thanks for the link! I have seen that type of top for Broncos and Jeeps, but not for the HEV.
 
Shop Chevy Parts . com has the same thing cheaper
 
Was thinking about this . Looks like more cons than pros . Think I’ll wait.
