sunroof?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

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

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!

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).

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.
