Sunroof installation |
Definitely
not a do-it-yourself project, but Kendall & Mark have had
an aftermarket sunroof installed in their Insight. I don't know
what the structural implications are with the Insight's aluminum
body of doing this, so I can't recommend this. However, I can
say that it looks great, and Kendall & Mark really like it.
