My biggest fear would be cutting a hole in the roof that you cannot plug completely in winter. That and wind noise.

I find that the vents coupled with a window cracked on the passenger side gives lots of ventilation. Light clothing, shorts and a synthetic T shirts helps. I have experimented with a chiller pad, used for recovery from knee surgery, which runs off a small inverter and ice water from the convenience store. I put it on my neck and back and it will really cool you off. You can probably find one lightly used for cheap.
