Aftermarket sunroof

[JerseyBiker]

Yo first post. Got a ‘22 TRD regular ‘cause I wanted cloth seats.

I dig the sunroof idea tho maybe have ‘em throw in a factory. Before I do that, has anyone heard of or seen anything about aftermarket or retrofitting a pano sunroof?

Thing drives like a hovercraft.

I gave up on that idea back in 2013 when my truck was new, 9 years ago. It's probably not wise.

Pano roof

Yeah I’m looking at the pano roof on a wrangler and wondering if its possible.

Oh it's def possible to make it like the Jeep. Harbor freight sells a nice body saw.

I can think of no pros for a sunroof, other than an alternative exit in an emergency.

I heard that the sunroof takes like 2” away from your headroom, though. Is this true?

just thinking out loud:

might a pano sunroof cut into a roof not designed for one compromise the structural integrity should you get in a roll-over accident?

my guess is probably.

I'd say more like 3"... Eventually I'll probably trade my 4runner for one without the sunroof, that's how much I dislike the thing.

I'm the OP. I was seriously considering getting an aftermarket sunroof when I started that thread back in 2013, weeks after I purchased my 2013 used, but less than a year old. I know some people here do not like sunroofs, but I do. I went as far as calling the local installers of a couple of brands of sunroofs I was considering. The price back in 2013 was about $1000 installed. I'm sure it's more than that now. I came so close to pulling the trigger but decided at the last second before making an appointment not to chance it. I'm glad I didn't. That link on my OP to one of the sunroof manufacturers now takes you to an insurance company, so they may be out of business.

I'm 6' 2" and have plenty of headroom with the factory moonroof.

I'm not sure to be honest? They need to reinforce the opening to install the sunroof frame properly I would assume (if they didn't that worries me even more...) So that might make up for it... but I have only seen like a handful of aftermarket sunroofs on Toyotas.

Had an afermarket one already installed in my old accord, I bought it used. It was a nightmare! Leaked shortly after buying, had to have it professionally sealed up and then was never able to open it up afterwards. Not doing that again

I had one installed by the dealer on a tundra. Since it was through the dealer, they warrantied it. It was great and I had no problems.
