    I've seen YouTube videos of this being done of Prius owners but no one from this Club.

    not that i've seen. some have said there are places willing to do them, but i don't know if that means it's a good idea. i think the structural integrity of the roof is a concern, you can see the shape doesn't lend itself well.

    I don't think I would do it. I know years ago that putting in an aftermarket sunroof resulted in a number of leaky disasters. The technology and materials are probably better today, but I would still be leery unless you got an iron clad/long term guarantee of no leaks. It's probably why getting a manufacturer's sunroof is so expensive.

    The Prius C has the same exact roof line as the regular Prius and I see a lot of those cars with the optional sunroof.
