There was a vendor that at one point sold these.

Here found it.
Mike Cottingham Industries
I'd make sure they still sell them first though.

I wouldn't go there, there was a big long thread about it. He had issue after issue and I'm not sure if he made more than a few

What's so hard about just holding onto the button to open or close it.

I bought the MCI sunroof switch and ive never had any issues with it. Ive had it now for about a year. As far as being lazy as some folks on here say, its not about being lazy its about the conveniance of just pressing the switch and taking off. I got it because I hated opening the roof while i was driving, have to hold the switch and shift became a pain in the ass so now its much nicer to have this option. JMO! So with that said I highly recommend the product. Mike Cottington Industries!

If you can't drive a stick and open your sunroof you shouldnt be driving a stick lol. Although, gm should've included the automatic click like the driver window has.
