Hi all.

So I have a 2000 V70 Winter model, without a sunroof. I am wondering, how much would it cost to have a sunroof installed?

Has anyone ever had this done here/done it themselves?

Thanks,
Conrad

Don't even think about it!!!

 

He's right. In the 1980's this "fad" caused a lot of grief to many owners. El Cheapos used the pop open type which inevitably leaked and rattled. And they lacked a sunshade so interiors would bake and discolor. High rollers went for installed power roofs that usually broke. High end body and electrical shops can do the work, but you'll never, ever get payback from a car that old if you go high end. Most of the 1980's sunroof/moonroof shops are long out of business, sort of like waterbed stores from that era.

 

Having been on the receiving end of a bad sunroof installation job, I'd say be careful.

Go to a local Honda or Toyota dealer and ask them where they get their sunroof's installed. Then go to that shop and ask how much a good sunroof + installation would cost.

A lot of cars come from Japan without sunroofs, so the dealers will get a local shop that does the best job and stick with them. A customer comes in and says "I want THAT one, only with a sunroof" - the dealer isn't going to wait for that combination to come in from Japan, they are going to take that car to their sunroof shop and have one installed. If the sunroofer screws up the installation, then the customer comes back to the dealer to solve the problem. Dealers don't like that. So, a dealer isn't going to keep going back to a bad sunroof shop.

I'd say $300 to $500 would just about cover it.

I wouldn't do it my self (again). Assuming you get the roof cutout properly and the sunroof seated and sealed, you may never get the headliner trimmed and fitted around the new opening.

 

Is year 2000 old?
