Default A Sunroof for my baby

Hello all....

I am looking to install a sunroof onto my 2003 Inisght. Does anyone know any custom shops in the NYC metro area which would do the install? Thanks a bunch!

Well I don't know of any shops, but some have installed a Webasco sun roof in their Insight's. I don't have the exact model on hand, but I know it's been done on several vehicles.

It was a WebastoHolandia "Stratos 200 Medium"

http://www.insightcentral.net/owners/mods/sunroof1.html

Here's the manufacturer's website:
http://www.webasto.us/home/en/homepage.html

They have links to "authorized" installers as well.

Hope this helps!

Default Sunroof

I had a sunroof installed this past monday the 21st of Nov. it was manufactored by Webasto. It was the Hollandia 300 Power Spoiler Series.

I chose the Power series because when I shut the car off,after 4 seconds the top closes by itself.

Sunroof panel can be moved to a vent position.

Sliding sunshade matches interior color for better looks.

Illuminated Soft Touch control panel is easy to use.

Now if the weather in IL would warm up about30 deg.

Hi Frisch41 and welcome to the forum

I guess you'll have to rename it a snow roof 'til next spring. :P

Thanks for the helpful info in regard to sunroof model choices that work in an Insight.

Hey, I'm in IL also, where'd you have it done? Feel like sharing how much it cost? Also what model Hollandia? They have quite a few on their site, and I'm assuming you didn't get the large version

I am also located in Illinois and would be interested in where you had the work done. Might wait till the snow clears and the 06' new car smell wears off before taking a saw to it!

What's the cost on something like this? They look really nice by the way.

You can go to the Wabasto web site and find the nearest dealer and they will give you a price.

I had one put in my 2000 Insight in Nov and have been able to use it a couple of times when the weather was worm enough for it.
