I think they take out 1 spline to install the sunroof. The only problem I could see is where you intend to put the 2nd rear sunroof, the spline above the rear seat, where the rear of the back door meets the rear window, is integral to the body shape and construction of the car to alow for some flex, but at the same time stiffening the structure of the body sides and roof. I'm not the engineer here, but I think that any 2nd sunroof would cause a structure problem because of the removal of that spline.

I was going to suggest the same comment.
I think the structural integrety of your car would go for a s**t.
Heaven forbid you roll the wagon in a ditch. I would hate to see something horrific happen because of a mod.
If you could get a stiff bar welded in by a shop to ensure you don's screw witht he integrity of the structure.... I say go for it. It certainly would be a Focus first.... Something that happens few and far between these days!
