sorry dude but i'm pretty sure no yarises come with that, and i hear putting one in is some tough job, and if not done correct can cause tons of leakage and car won't drive straight,etc.

jaserhunter · 01-06-2009, 05:22 AM

really? i would think you can get a moonroof, but i love to have a sunroof that opened. and what would a sunroof do tomaking the car not drive straight?

Different air flow?

But JC Whitney has some universal kits. I was looking at putting one on my old 73 Beetle. But if you go that route get a GOOD bodyshop to do it.

yeah lol you walk to your car on a rainy day and water falls out the door

Phaeton · 01-06-2009, 05:35 AM

Before the hack, there was a member who had one installed.
It was pretty nice looking.

jaserhunter · 01-06-2009, 05:42 AM

I think member "BobsElectric" had one put in. It was real nice. :)

TinyGiant · 01-06-2009, 11:13 AM

there was a guy that came to our New England meet that had a sunroof in hisyaris.. it was really slick.. looked great

cali yaris · 01-06-2009, 12:33 PM

Yes, I think he got the job done for about $700.
Can anyone remember the brand name?

zuberio · 01-06-2009, 12:46 PM

I've looked into this a little bid, and your best bet would be to go with a spoiler style sunroof - that way drain tubes won't have to be installed to drain the water that WILL leak through a non-compression seal.

This is the brand I believe he had installed.

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!

Meteorite_Marty · 01-07-2009, 07:25 PM

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).

Rotorheader · 01-07-2009, 09:45 PM

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.
