Webasto Hollandia 730 Moon Roof Installed

[CTScott]

This week was belated Christmas for my Yaris. I finally bought a set of Clazzio seat covers from Garm, and finally got a moon roof installed (and got it tinted, while at the shop).

I have been researching sun/moon roofs since I bought my 09, back in October. After reading numerous articles and speaking with a bunch of body shop people I decided on the Webasto brand. I intended to install it myself, but Webasto only sells to authorized installers, and the few who will sell you a kit, without installing it, get nearly the same price as it costs fully installed.

So, after doing some research on installers I decided to use Attention To Detail, in Middletown, CT. Their installers have been putting in Webasto roofs for over 20 years. I was very pleased with the quality of their work.

Here are some pics:

thats insane...... they did a really nice job! almost looks like its suppose to come stock with a sunroof!

[LtNoogie]

That is awesome. Do mind my asking what the total cost was for material and labor?

[TEHxFALLEN V1.2]

I want it.

& I want it now.

[engelm_]

I want this too. OMG, it looks so clean!

[CTScott]

$1,380

I could have done a good self-installed pop-up for under $500, but I really wanted a power roof.

The glass is 18" x 31.5", so when you open it, it really feels like a convertible.

[KCALB SIRAY]

great mod, I love the look

[LtNoogie]

I'd better do my taxes next week to see if I'm paying or getting something back. This looks soooo pretty.

[supmet]

:bow:

looks amazing. I'm super jealous....

[kustom play]

i would love to get a moon roof installed!

[LtNoogie]

How long was the car at their shop?

[Deltasix]

Very nice job. Good shop choice too, I live right across the river from Middletown, my friend has used them a few times.

[CTScott]

How long was the car at their shop?

It takes them about 8 hours to install it, and they keep the car overnight to allow the sealant to cure. So, you drop it off one morning and pick it up the next.

[eTiMaGo]

wow, that is beautifully done and complements the car so well... the interior is already bright and airy as it is, but this is really the cherry on the top :thumbsup:

[The Spectacle]

That looks REALLY good I am going to really consider doing this to my Yaris this year.

[Altitude]

Agreed. Super clean install. :thumbup:

I want one too!

[Klink10]

Very nice....I checked with the dealer here and they wanted $1500. I don't think their quality would have been as good as yours.

Seat covers look nice. I like mine alot.

[Sodium Duck]

Shiny!

How are you liking the seat covers?

[Fenrizwolf]

looks awesome, same as my eclipse with a different control switch. When Im in the yaris I miss my moonroof.

[PHXDEMON]

Holy crap they did a good job :headbang: Looks like it came the factory that way. Any idea how much weight that added?

[CTScott]

The Clazzio seat covers are awesome. They add a layer of padding that really makes the seats more comfortable. Combine them with the moon roof, and I feel like I'm driving a mini Lexus.

The net (moon roof assembly - piece of sheet metal removed) is just over 30 lbs.

[pennyracer]

thats a class a job what kind of gurantee do these roofs and installers offer?

[CTScott]

Webasto warranty:
Hollandia 700 Series Inbuilt Sunroofs offer a lifetime parts warranty to the
original owner.

Installer contract terms say "Labor is warrantied for life".

[cali yaris]

Does the roof lose any structural bracing that went across?

Looks super good, I want one.

[LtNoogie]

Yeah, I was wonder if there is more body flex with that hole.

[eTiMaGo]

there shouldn't be, I don't think the roof "skin" is strong enough, and there are a few crossmembers inside. Removing one of those would cause trouble for sure, but it looks like the moonroof fits right between the two front ones, as if Toyota had considered the possibility and spaced them out a bit more :biggrin:

[CTScott]

There's definitely less roof flex with moon roofs frame. They were initally going to install the Webasto 4300, but they had to go with the slightly shorter Hollandia 730 due to the position of the roof reinforcement member in diagram.

[enobmort42]

very nice! i'm jealous. i wish it were an option on the car when i bought it!

[The Spectacle]

Is there a site that lists authorized Webasto installers?

One of the shops I've used for interior work before is on the list...:w00t:

[yaris 2sz]

i think that the sunroof is behind the second brace
look the fotos

[CTScott]

That's actually correct - I checked with the installer and they did cut the roof support and bolt the sunroof frame to it.

[yaris 2sz]

ok, then.
enjoy it!!!!

[808_Yaris]

your the first one?!?

[yaris 2sz]

if it's easy to you, some fotos from the seats covers please...

[CTScott]

your the first one?!?

I've seen a couple of people on here with sunroofs. One of the prior ones was an Inalfa spoiler type (where the glass slides above the roof, rather than in the head liner).

[CTScott]

if it's easy to you, some fotos from the seats covers please...

Take a look at this post. Posted a bunch of pics of the Clazzio seat covers here:

[Norkotik]

that is so tight

[bizzlebaby]

i know im jumping on an old thread but is it possible to add one if my yaris has the safety package with all the extra airbags, i think it has a roof airbag?

My 09 has the full complement of airbags. The curtain side airbags are mounted above the door frames, but they are quite a distance from the frame of the moon roof.

[bizzlebaby]

Cool this may have to be something I will get. I miss my sunroof from my 929.

[SeriousBlack]

Not just a bump of a great (old) thread, but I'd be interested in hearing how the Webasto power moonroof has held up for a couple of years. Any leaks or electrical/mechanical issues?

No problems and no leaks. Since I installed seat heaters last winter, I even use it in the cold weather.

[cali yaris]

Sunroof is something I miss the most when I drive the Yaris. <3

[goldenbil]

[hungnm]

Beautifullllll. Yeah

May get these if I can get for front seats only.I have no rear seats.Currently trying to track down some scion xb seats.
