Is OEM Panoramic Sunroofs Possible?

[mirroronthewall]

Just got my damage estimate and they're replacing the roof! My truck doesn't have a sunroof currently, but with a whole new roof on the way, I'm wondering if this is a sign from the sky (pun intended) to upgrade to a panoramic one? The estimate mentions a "roof panel without panoramic" - is it crazy to think they could swap it for a panoramic instead? Seems like they'd just need to switch the control panel and headliner, right? Anyone done this before?

What happened to your roof? I'd recommend sticking with the OEM ones. Don't have any idea how much it costs if you'd buy an OEM roof with a panoramic roof though. You can try calling your dealer.

To be honest, it’s definitely not crazy to consider adding a panoramic sunroof, especially if your roof is already being replaced. You're basically halfway there! I would totally ask the shop if they can upgrade it for you. Depending on the setup, all they might need to do is install the control panel and adjust the headliner. having that panoramic view can be a game-changer, whether it’s for letting in more light, fresh air, or just adding that extra 'wow' factor to your car. just make sure to ask the dealer about any potential impact on the car’s structural integrity or warranty. Oh and get a quote so there are no surprises. if it’s within budget and not too complicated, go for it!

it’s not crazy to think about upgrading to a panoramic roof while they’re working on replacing it anyway! The roof structure might already be set up for it, and yes, they’d probably just need to change the headliner and controls. However, it’s worth double-checking with your dealer or body shop. Adding a panoramic sunroof might need more wiring or structural reinforcements. If you’ve got the budget and the truck can support it, why not go for it? It could definitely add some value to your ride!

Since they’re already replacing the roof, go for it now. I’ve heard that the process mainly involves swapping out the roof panel, installing a new headliner, and maybe some wiring for the controls.

It would be a good idea to reach out to the body shop or your dealer to see if they can help you out with this upgrade. Just imagine how great it would be to let in all that natural light, it would feel like a whole new truck! those sunny drives with the sunroof open would be an absolute blast.

Upgrading to a panoramic sunroof while replacing the roof isn’t impossible, but there are a few things to consider. The structural integrity of the truck’s roof might change with a panoramic roof, so they might need to reinforce it. You’ll also need the new headliner and controls, which you mentioned, plus possible rewiring. It’s definitely a conversation worth having with your dealer or the repair shop, but be prepared for the costs to rise a bit. If everything aligns though, it’d be an awesome upgrade!
