Is the sunroof option like a unicorn?

I saw a 1st gen Prerunner in town a couple days ago with a sunroof. Xtra cab v6 with 01-04 front end.

 

My 99 prerunner xtra cab v6 has a poptop - is that a sunroof? I always thought sunroof was supposed to be fully retractable and I had a moonroof. Either way I got a window on the roof.

 

All the factory equipped sun/moonroofs were pop-tops. I'm guessing they were only meant for venting purposes.

 

My 97 extra cab has a moon roof . What's more rare then the moon roof is the cover for it . Dealer said someone tried stealing mine while it was on the lot some time before I bought it lol

 

Definitely use it for venting purposes all the time. Works great! And I still have the original cover too which I rarely remove because of glare and sun and shit.

 

I believe it's the other way around. Moonroof retracts and all that. 1st gens have sunroofs.

 

what about a regular cab???



*crickets*

edit: removed link, i was not endorsing that company.

 

Looks like a double cab to me?

 

Yup, that's OEM for sure.

That's because Toyota charges an arm and a leg for the cover. I got lucky and found my cover on craigslist.

You can sort of see my sunroof/cover in this pic:

 

I had this long response typed out about how you had it mixed up when I thought to myself, hey....I should google this and find out for sure before I potentially embarass myself. Sure enough, you're right lol. Seriously though, I thought for years that moonroofs were just windows and sunroofs were retractable. Mind = blown

 

So do we know if this is factory installed? Or is it dealership installed?

 

Here is pics of mine. Have no idea what the as/c button does

 

Not sure if it's oem or not but it doesn't leak and it looks professionally done either way I love it lol

 

It does look professionally done but it's definitely aftermarket (although Toyota and a lot of other manufacturers seemed to use ASC moonroofs).

As for the ASC button (did a quick google search as I was curious now too), it looks to be used for programming the moonroof (see post #3 in this thread: )

 

My limited double cab with an oem sunroof. I was told the sunroof was ordered by original owner when he ordered the truck new. I was fortunate to get the cover with it.

 

How much would it be to install and aftermarket one? Where would you even get it done?

 

Wow. I didn't know retrofit power sunroofs are a thing.

 

Only seen em on second gens. Never seen retrofit roofs on first gens.

 

Mine is a first gen

 

Well... I meant besides yours. Yours is the first first gen with a retrofit roof I've seen.
