Added Sunroof

[JAVO]

I've recently thought about getting rid of my Sonic in favor of a Cadillac ATS, after much thought I decided to keep my Sonic because I do love it. It's a lot of fun to drive and gets amazing gas mileage. So my first big mod was to add a sunroof. It's amazing how a little sun on your head can change how you feel. It made me fall in love with my car all over again..
Here are some pics..

I love it! If you don't mind me asking, what was the cost? I've thought about doing a sunroof in mine.

I contacted a couple of different companies and the lowest price I could find was $999. I went with a more expensive company but they had a great reputation. It was $1,199 + tax. I initially asked for the factory moonroof style where the glass slides back inside the roof (it was $200 more) but they couldn't do it and I had to go to with the top slider. I really like it and am happy with it. It came with a 3 year warranty. I was amazed how fast they did it. They did it same day. On the inside it looks factory.

The ATS nice, but for that car, NO rear seat room... That's a lot of moo-laa for no real rear seat room.

The CTS...now that's some room...same with the new Mazda 6...huge!

I wish I had a sunroof. How did they do the head liner? Was it just them putting in factory OEM stuff?

Love it. I've been investigating how to make my stock sunroof open like that. I'm a lil jelly.

Looks good. And good price considering factory sunroof is about the price. I definitely like the slide up style. Is that what the difference between a sunroof and moonroof is? Could never figure that one out.

I always thought the difference was one is a glass roof panel and the other is a metal panel. My old 190E-16V had the metal panel and I much prefer the glass style like most cars have these days.

OP, nice job, looks like quality work!

They made it all from the material leftover from the section they cut out. It looks like a factory job. It's really awesome.

You're correct.

Does it have a shade that slides in place? That's the only real benefit I can see of OEM of this - often, the sun is too bright for me to not have the shade pulled.

Looks awesome!

Forgot to ask - is there a warranty that the place gave you on the sunroof? Does it cover leaks?
