Default Sunroof

I'm tired of my sunroof leaking. I'm wanting know what would be the best way to go:

Taking my car to an auto body shop and getting the sunroof covered with sheet metal

OR

Find the same model car that doesn't have a sunroof and replace it with mine

which would look better and or cost less?

Buy some new seals for it, and clean out all the water drain tubes. You should have 4 or 2 in your sunroof. You can just run a thin wire to break whatever is blocking it. That would be a lot cheaper then going ghetto and welding it shut.

Also its tough welding onto sheet metal the metal will warp if not done right.
