    I do not want a power sunroof, just the pop-up kind. Anyone know of a installer in South or North Carolina that will do the job? My local guy won't tackle it.

    since the prius roof isn't flat, you're gonna get your car butchered if you let someone chop into your roof. don't do it. it will leak and look like $#!+, probably screw up the aerodynamics and waste fuel too. bad bad idea.

    Pop up roofs are from the 70's, 80's do they even make them any more? o_O Why not go with T tops?
