    I'm perfectly happy with my Prius II in all regards except I sometimes regret not having a factory sunroof.
    But the jump up to get it would of cost me thousands.

    Quite frankly, I don't have the guts to let somebody cut the roof of my Prius. Even if it can be done, I'm not letting anyone install one aftermarket.

    Kind of admire anyone brave enough to let an aftermarket installer do it.

    But I've had sunroofs in the past, and I love them.

    But for me? It will at least be my next vehicle incarnation before I can decide whether I want a sunroof.

    looks like it was factory installed.More than likely it's a Webasto 5300 or the Holland 700 you said it closes when turning the car off that's what these two model sunroof do

    I think it has more to do with the added weight (and the subsequent mileage hit).

    it does look pretty streamline. good point, i hadn't thought of that. how much do they weigh, minus the roof removal?

    I dont really care about the additional weight, i am sure it is not alot. I would gladly accept the fact that i may get 1 mpg less and have the open roof. Some of us are into the best mpg, or reducing their carbon footprint and thats great. I am not so admirable. I got this car to get into the HOV lane and in doing so to make it as much fun as possible to drive and look at. We all have our missions in life.
