Poptop sunroof in a Prius?

Hi - I have a 2003 Prius (LOVE IT) that I got in October.

Has anyone put in an aftermarket pop-top sunroof in a Prius? I had one in my last car, and as a birdwatcher, I really liked being able to see UP.

Did the 2003 Prius ever come with a factory sunroof?

Sunroof was not an option. I seem to recall that I've heard of people putting in an aftermarket one with no unusual problems.

2001-2003 Prius did not come with a factory sunroof.

However, some people have had one installed aftermarket.

Quality really depends on the installer you choose. Be aware that you'll loose a few inches of headroom with the install, though.

I don't know if putting in a sun-roof is terribly smart in a car like the Prius. If you are installing a clear glass panel that is flush with the roofline and non-retractable, that's one thing - it probably will not effect the aerodynamics of the vehicle. If, on the other hand, you're talking about a retractable, removable or "pop-able" sunroof, you'd be fooling to install it.

Actually, if you look at these images, you?ll see a little wind-deflector i got for my `01. in 89,250 miles wind noise from the sunroof has never bothered me from 0-102.
