Just got back from Lynden Washington where my brother and I installed a pop-up sunroof in my 2006 Yaris 3dr, we moved the center interior light back about 4 inches, but other than that it went in without a hitch. Had it open all the way home, boy that fresh air felt good, and sure helps keep the car cooler when parked in the sun. Doesn't look half bad either:w00t:

Dealer quoted me @ 1200 bones US for a moonroof. Custom moonroofs proably like 800 or so, dunno i want to spend it tho.

Just be careful and choose a very good installer. A bad install could make for water in your cabin, air hissing at high speeds, and/or many unfixable rattles.

I'm getting one installed on Tuesday for $329, they didn't say they had to move light, did you move it because you had to, or could you have left it in stock position?
P.S I wanted to use the name Island Boy, but you beat me to it. But then you do live on an island as well. Oh Well:drinking:

Sorry, have to do it...

:needpics:

I don't even know what you mean by pop out sunroof... are you talking removable like t-tops or it pops out of the roof and slides back or what.

I think it's just one of those ones that the roof just lifts upward a little.

Something like this?

you got it done for only 114 us? how big is the pop up? bcuz i find a place to install a power sliding sunoof 16 by 32 but would cost me 1600 CAN after tax. but again that is a power sliding one rahter than just a manual pop up.

I'm gonna get a moonroof in my nautical blue S (inbuilt, just like factory).. just don't feel like paying 1200 this very moment.. but I think it's worth it. The only way for me to go is Inalfa! And man I have to inquire bout their panoramic roofs.. but I think it looks slightly tacky with the glass in the air?

I was thinking about installing an Inalfa electric slider myself. I could do it for about $400. I don't really want to get involved with the headliner required for the built-in type.

One thing to worry about is body crinkling when turning hard/going over bigger bumps....

well atleast according my more car savy friend when I mentioned about getting a sunroof...

can anyone verify the "threat" of this (either way??)
