cutting those roof supports are normal when installing a roof especially with the yaris....

 

Yea I know but you know there will be always the doubters and the nay sayers...Hell, you would have to cut some of them to put a sunroof in...My philosophy was go big or go home...I could have went bigger and just relocated the antenna...

 

Looks good Tim! Leave it to Randy to install something that looks factory when complete, good job guys!

 

Thanks Johnathon...Its was great seeing you and the wife this morning at the breakfast get together...

 

Turned out awesome Tim! Its about time.....lol. Drilling the hole IS the hardest part, the rest is easy...lol

 

It looks good man... Just wondering on how much louder is the wind noise?

 

Thank you Chris, I still remember the day you did yours...Yang, as far as wind noise I haven't really noticed any but I have not taken it on the freeway yet...The fastest I have driven with the top closed is 45mph and I don't notice any wind noise...What I do notice is that I can hear road noise and my exhaust easier but that's ok I just increase the volume on my stereo...My top closes extremely tight so I don't have any whistling or howling noises...

 

Turned out awesome Tim.. Your XD is the sickest ive seen.

 

Wow!

 

Thanks Justin and Tomas...There is still some things I would love to do to it...Funny thing is I remember when I bought this thing I told myself I was only gonna get a set of tC take off rims Yea right...

 

Looks great Tim and yeah the xD is far from just wheels. LMAO. Big ups guys.

 

Thanks, just don't tell the wife I added more than just the wheels

 

Heheheheheh... You think she's not going to notice a huge hole in the roof, eh?

You must be amazing at keeping her distracted.

 

I bet one of those sunroof "vent visors" would do wonders for helping it stay in great shape.

Looks great! What does one of those things cost to install?

 

Yea I wanna look into getting a custom sunroof visor made, I have an idea what I want...As far as cost, depends on your connections...Randode is one of my sponsors...Randode FTW...

 

that looks pretty good!

 

Thank you so far to everyone who has posted...I honestly thought I would get a few that would bash it, which I totally understand because as stated before this is not a mod for everyone...

I have finally been able to take it on the freeway and drive with it closed...You do get some air noise (its not bad but you do get some outside noise) but that is to be expected when you cut a giant hole in your roof and cover it with a cloth band aid I think I will be able to adjust the right front clamp a little tighter and quiet it down a little more...I also believe that a sunroof air deflector shield of some sort would do wonders but thats gonna have to be custom made...Until then, I just turn up the tunes and enjoy...It has been hot as hell here in Az since the install so the top has been closed most of time...Even at 3am it's almost 100 degrees...In about a month, it will be perfect ragtop weather...

 

Washed the car yesterday for the first time since the rag install and had zero leakage...I was very happy...

 

Fricken awesome. I wanna see this thing at a local show. Weather should be getting nice before too long. Really looking forward to it...//TJ

 

^^^Thanks...Yea I need to hit a show soon...Hopefully the weather will cool down, man it's been H O T...
