sorry dude but i'm pretty sure no yarises come with that, and i hear putting one in is some tough job, and if not done correct can cause tons of leakage and car won't drive straight,etc.

[jaserhunter]

really? i would think you can get a moonroof, but i love to have a sunroof that opened. and what would a sunroof do tomaking the car not drive straight?

[coheed]

Different air flow? :iono:

But JC Whitney has some universal kits. I was looking at putting one on my old 73 Beetle. But if you go that route get a GOOD bodyshop to do it.

yeah lol you walk to your car on a rainy day and water falls out the door:cry:

[Phaeton]

Before the hack, there was a member who had one installed.
It was pretty nice looking.

[jaserhunter]

really, cool. did it open up? i have the day off tomorrow and i think there is a place in va that puts them in. i will call them tomorrow and put some prices on here.

there was a guy that came to our New England meet that had a sunroof in hisyaris.. it was really slick.. looked great

[NJBob]

I think member "BobsElectric" had one put in. It was real nice. :)

Yes, I think he got the job done for about $700.
Can anyone remember the brand name?

[zuberio]

I've looked into this a little bid, and your best bet would be to go with a spoiler style sunroof - that way drain tubes won't have to be installed to drain the water that WILL leak through a non-compression seal.

This is the brand I believe he had installed.

Hey-- My ears were ringing!


Yep- I have a sunroof, and it was installed by Auto Sunroof of Larchmont here in Westchester County New York. It cost me about 470, and I can't remember the name of the roof, but I think it's a webasto.

It really opens the interior of the car up. I have had no problems with leakage, and the car drives straight (!!??!!). Although it is a pop-up, the glass is removable for some open air motoring

Here's a pic with the glass removed from the Lawrence show in October

oh it was someone else who got the motorized one, then

Had mine done last spring in Portland, Oregon. Enjoy it every time I drive.

[PHXDEMON]

I want one so bad but don't have the money.

It should be a factory option along with Electronic Stabilty Control, Cruise Control and Climate Control.

[jaserhunter]

looks sweet:w00t: does it open or is it moonroof? and how much did it cost?

That sunroof looks great!!! You made a good choice with the black rims and the black projector lights as well; it really compliments the car color. Meteorite Metallic for the win!

[Meteorite_Marty]

Looks are one thing, but has anyone considered stuctural integrity? With such a small surface area for the roof, carving so much of it out for a sunroof opening would weaken the safety elements of the roof (just wondering). :iono:

[Rotorheader]

I was present when the roof was cut open and the moonroof installed. Trust me, there was ZERO structural integrity in the tin snipped out. It was < or IS> as flimsy as cardboard, and the area contained no structural crossmembers. Nothing over your head but headliner and tin.

[YarisMarine]

how much was the install for that?

if you really wanted the look of a sunroof on the cheap there are always the faux sunroofs!

only $24.99!

The pre-post hack one was Violin's. He had a powered one in a Meteorite Metallic LB.

I saw a blazing blue LB in a Toronto hotel parking garage with one as well. It looked to be OEM (I think it is an option in some places other than the US).

I really want to put one in my LB. The Webatso 4300 is about the best looking one that I've seen. It retails for about $1000 installed. I can't seem to find the Webatso kit for sale - I'd really prefer to install it myself.
