Sunroof - Toyota Yaris Forums

JBougie · 11-04-2009, 07:10 PM

The dealer told me that it would make the roof too unstable to pass safety checks .... which made me think twice about wanting to get one. If I (God forbid) ever roll the Yaris, I want as much protection as I can get LOL - I was going to get a sunroof last summer, had it ordered and ready to go ... backed out at the last minute. I may get one again if I can prove somehow that it won't cause too much of a safety issue.

Installed correctly, it will actually add strength to the roof. To install my moon roof they cut the cross member and bolted the moon roof's frame to it, so the end effect is that the roof is stiffer than it was prior.

I like that answer!!! After owning convertables, I really miss having some sun on my head while driving :)
