So I have a question! My sunroof is all scratched up and it didn't take me long to realize that it is PLASTIC?! Who the heck decided to do that? No really, is there a reason for this and can I have it replaced with glass. Every other Celica I have seen since has the plastic too, is it factory?
Thanks for your help, it is really starting to bug me!
2003 & newer models are glass now, if you do change it to glass you will have to change the moon roofs motor since the glass is heavier and you need the new motor in the newer models to open the heavier glass
I hate my sunroof too. It start to peel off little by little and now it's freaking ugly! Whenever my friend sit in the back...I alway have my sunroof close I heard you can replace your sunroof for $300+ at the dealership.

i also noticed that the other day. My car was in the sun , and i saw these HUGE long scartches on my sun roof..i was like..how the f342542 did that happen?
"In terms of environmental protection efforts, this product is 30-40% lighter than a comparable product made with inorganic glass, contributing to vehicle weight reduction and energy conservation."
The shop I took it to for my Greddy looked at it for me and siad that they couldn't get it off. How are you going to scrape it off? are you using chemicals or something? How will you do it without scraping into the plastic?
My thoughts exactly. I wonder what the difference is exactly but I can't imagine it being that much! No wonder they went to the glass with the newer models!
Now I am pissed! I called my dealership parts department to price out for a motor and glass. Motor $455.00 Glass $694.00! but what is actually making me mad is that when I asked how much to just replace the Lexan plastic, he said it if is from Toyota it is glass. No way, I bought the car from them new and the sticker in the window included the sunroof as factory! My salesman is a friend so I think I will call him and ask him to find out for me. The parts guy said that Toyota didn't make them in plastic. Rude! I think he didn't know what he was talking about and thought I was a stupid girl!
Yeha mine looks like shit I tryed to get a pic but you cant see 3/4 of the scratchs, and peeling.. I tryed to take care of it.. I dunno.. maybe its cause I have it open 90% of the time.. the wind and crap hitting it.. I dont know.. tink it was jsut done really cheap. Just like the exterior paint.
My sunroof is starting to bubble and has been yellowing, from the inside it seems like glass i have a 2001 , how do I fix this !!!?!?? It’s letting water inside cracking and leaking
