The way to tell if the roof was indeed "Factory Installed" was to look at the edge when you open the roof.

A factory "Moon Roof" the sheet metal will fold over the edge, and create the channels and such where the drains are...

The Aftermarket ones are usually slightly smaller, and they have a black gasket edge that attaches to the body. It looks kind of like a typical aftermarket sunroof, BUT its power.
