Panoramic Glass Sunroof - Toyota Yaris Forums

revolution · 11-21-2010, 09:37 AM

Hey,

OK, so i've given up on th Blitz Supercharger coz I don't want drama, LOL!

Decided to go for a Webasto Hollandia 524 Panoramic Glass Sunroof... Largest glass sunroof available, 33" x 54" with twin-glass and blinds, etc...

Anyone else thought of doing this, or anyone even got a normal sunroof done?

Can't think of a better looking Mod than this for my Vitz RS....

ilikerice · 11-21-2010, 10:28 AM

lots of custom work on that project.. less drama with a supercharger than this.. custom headliner and routing drain tubes and wiring.. not to mention once that hole is cut in the roof, it will never be the same again... i think it would look so bad ass and i love those glass sunroofs but customizing a car for it is not worth it to me. if you do go with it i wish you the best of luck and id like to see a thread on that

What drama?

Sunroof would be cool, I wish mine had one.

Well, i live in Malawi, Africa, and there's pretty much nobody here that would be able to give me a hand with supercharging the RS unless anyone wants to come out on holiday here as a supercharging volunteer, heehee!

I would love a smaller power sunroof, are there any out there for Yaris that will fit right?

cali yaris · 11-21-2010, 03:09 PM

I gotcha -- the sunroof is a project too -- I suggest you find the shop that will do the install for you first, it has to be perfect, no leaks and no flaws or damage outside or inside!!

There was a thread on here a long time ago, with someone who posted the brand and model they installed -- it was VERY nicely done.

CT Scott has a power sunroof and I have a pop-up
One of the best things I've done with my HB, It really opens the cabin up. Don't worry about the cuts- If it's done by someone who knows what they are doing, there will be no problems

I believe you're referring to Violin's ride:

Very nicely done indeed.

The Spoiler Sunroofs are cool, but i was thinking more along the lines of this....

revolution · 11-21-2010, 06:48 PM

It seems they have fitted it to a Toyota ist already (same as a Scion something-or-other).. but would really be a fantastic mod for a Yaris/Vitz.....

severous01 · 11-21-2010, 06:52 PM

i hate panoramin sunroof's on BMW...always a problem...always a leak, and always noisey.

good luck with it...also, your roof is a structural integral part of the vehicle. be sure to brace properly or you'll be popping glass all the time.

yaris2010RS · 11-21-2010, 09:32 PM

in some regions sunroofs were available from toyota

why? · 11-21-2010, 11:02 PM

find someone who does it, and get some referrals. People add sunroofs all the time without problems. I know in the US, pretty much every dealer has a place that adds sunroofs to their cars.

CTScott · 11-21-2010, 11:06 PM

Webasto is definitely the way to go if you are going to do it. I have the Webasto Hollandia 730 Power Moon Roof on mine and it's been great. Here's a thread on it:

mrrock · 11-22-2010, 03:59 PM

I have the same roof as CTScott and had it installed in 07 by the same place and not have had one problem! great roofs and very reliable!

kustom play · 11-23-2010, 04:08 PM

the TC has that same setup

a girl i dated for a short time had a TC, thing would squeek and make noise like a mofo

i dont know if you would have the same issues in the yaris or not

revolution · 11-24-2010, 11:49 AM

well, the people at Webasto are saying they don't make this sunroof anymore (then why is it on their site 2 years after they say they stopped making it??!!) LOL soooo, im still looking for an alternative kit...
