Introduction

This article is just an embryo. It is an idea for someone to "pick up" onto and to expand the article further.

• If you have an open top / cabrio Jimny, you do not need to read this article.
• This article is meant for owners of closed top / "tin top" Jimnys.

The idea

• It is possible to install an aftermarket or DIY-made sunroof on the roof of closed top / tin top Jimnys.
• The installation of course prerequisites cutting a large hole in the roof.
  • Therefore, it is not reversible.
• The installation can be done by professionals, or in a DIY manner if you are quite confident in your skills.
  • Because of risks of water leaks in the future and the warranty on the installation, it may be better for the professionals to do it.

• There are a few aftermarket manufacturers who make sunroofs for Jimnys.
  • One of them is Webasto.

• Here is an example sunroof installation report and discussion on a German Jimny-specific forum.
