Roof insert

I've heard two reasons why cars, primarily pre-1936 or so, had a roof insert as opposed to being one solid piece of steel. First, technology hadn't been developed to create a single sheet of metal that large. Second, cost saving.

Also, were roof inserts prone to leaking? And when were the last cars to use an roof insert?

kind regards
