My new 2009 Versa Hatch doesn't come with the sports package so I have no sunroof. Does anyone know how much it would cost to get one installed? If it's not too much I may consider it sometime in the future but I was just curious to see if any of you knew how much it would cost.Thanks

I dont know about the US but in Venezuela every car reapirs are alot cheaper than here and a sunroof is about $700 lmao..... plus I have heard from the same mechanics and specialists that aftermarket sunroofs for some reason they always end out leaking some how!!!!

On Camel #1, I had an aftermarket sunroof that was sold through the dealer... $1,000 and it was crooked and sucked. Part of the reason I traded in Camel #1.

Aftermarket sunroof is probably not worth it. Most are only warrantied for a year. Buyer beware!!

The problem with installing aftermarket sunroof is that the roof frame of your car is not made for a sunroof therefore you will weak the strengh of the car frame.

A friend of mine almost die because of this. Had a frontal collision with a light post (didn't get out of the way according to my dear friend), and the whole roof was squashed inside the passenger area hitting him on his right shoulder, and not because of the light post (it never came down).

The insurance agencie didn't pay him a dime on medical insurance saying the aftermarket sunroof was not an integral part of the car when he bought it, and that the roof structure was affected because of this.

Don't do it man.

My advice; DO NOT compromise the frame of your vehicle. Factory sunroof one thing... aftermarket NO NO
