Relatively thin sheet metal would replace the seals, hinges/tracks, motor, insulation, wires, and buttons. Ill take the metal and 40lbs off my weight.

I'm sure the floor mats and trunk mat in your car saturated with dirt add almost 40lbs...
I don't understand the complaint for a single item adding <100 lbs of weight. That's less that having a passenger adds. I'd imagine that having the fan on to circulate air taxes the engine more than the 50 lbs, or having a side window open creates more drag than the sunroof open would.
But I guess each person has their own priorities. To me, 40lbs or so is well worth the convenience and novelty of having a sunroof.
Plus myself weighing 150 lbs, I'd still be "faster" than the average American who weighs somewhere around 190+ lbs. heh...
