I heard $1200.
That's one reason I go with pop-ups, for usually under $300

i would go with the moonroof, i don't like the idea of going with the RS B package, and then getting a sunroof that i have to manually open. call me lazy, but thats why i got the power everything package. hehe

OK, you're lazy.

I just called the Webasto authorized dealer closest to me that installs their sunroofs, they are in Edmonton, and Im in Calgary (280km). I got a quote of $1295 CDN installed. Electric (slide out), sunshade, full headliner, lifetime warranty. I booked my appointment for the first week of June. They advised me they perform a lot of sunroof installs for many the area dealers. Assured me it looks factory finished when complete.

Any photos ubetiam?

I took the plunge and ordered an Infalda electric spoiler type sunroof for $330 (+ shipping). I'm doing the install myself (wish me luck).

I also found the Webasto model for $320 plus shipping. It only has a 5-year warranty through the seller, not Webasto because they void the warantee w/o professional installation whereas the Infalda has a lifetime warranty through Infalda.

i dont know why things in vancouver have to be so damn expensive! okay there are only 2 places in the whole greater vancouver who installs after market sunroofs and i called them and they quoted 1300 sth includes labour and the roof! but wait there is tax to it as well so i am looking at around 1600 to have that sunroof installed.

i am also looking to a cheapter to have a sunroof installed. prefer a power sunroof but i wouldnt mind getting a manual one as long as it looks good from the outside and inside. so plase post up some pics if you guy have them :)

Gaahhh!

I just got the Inalfa EVENT 300 spoiler sunroof through http://streetbeatcustoms.com/premspoilsun.html.

The site says you can wrap the headliner and the guy I spoke when I ordered said you could but when I got it, I couldn't see how. I called Inalfa and they said the smaller 300 couldn't be installed that way, only the 450. I'm afraid 32" is just too wide for the Yaris and I don't like the look of an interior plastic trim ring - I want a factory look.

To their credit, streetbeat customs is paying for return shipping but I was planning on doing the install this weekend.

Dang!

After speaking to Webasto and CR Laurence, it appears that everyone makes their spoiler sunroofs for smaller cars this way.

What to do, what to do?...

[Violin]

I stuck with the Inalfa because
a) Lifetime warranty
b) The shape of the interior trim piece will allow me to wrap it separately with headliner material.

I have a piece of headliner cloth and plan to take down the plastic interior trim ring and cover it so it blends better. The cloth I found was a slightly different shade (a little darker) but it should look better than the hard plastic.

Here is the install (there is morning dew on the car):

Here are links to a few different spoiler sunroofs if you are thinking of doing it yourself:

CR Laurence:

dome light kit: http://www.technologylk.com/product_...roduct_ID=2913


The light kit would be nice because moving the dome light took some doing. CR Laurence doesn't say anything about warranty though.

A nice feature with the Inalfa is that it automatically closes when you turn off the ignition - no leaving it open by mistake.
