2009 Fit Sport Moonroof addition

I've posted these pics in another thread but figured I'd post all my moonroof pics in a new thread. Its an inalfa brand moonroof, didn't lose any interior lights. Also it opens/closes one touch and closes when i turn the car off. Love it!!

its listed on my buyer's order. The dealer said if i have a problem just bring it back to the honda dealer. Also have a separate warranty card from the people that installed it.

You can't be serious. Most dealers will try to void your entire warranty if you install headlight bulbs from Autozone. What do you think they'll do if you cut a giant hole in the roof?

The only accessories they cover are the bits from Honda installed by a Honda tech.

I'm not too worried since the dealer installed it and said it was an installer that they usually use. This is also my 3rd aftermarket moonroof installed in a car. My first was a new 95 Cadillac SLS that was in the shop for warranty work soo much that they knew me by first name whenever i walked in.
The second was a new 1996 Chrysler Cirrus another piece of crap that also saw alot of warranty work. In both cases the sunroof was never an issue.

You bought your car in PA?

I've been looking to get this done in the future, but not sure which of the shops around nyc are more reputable.... any recommendations?

but then again Webasto, or Inalfa sites have their recommended installers...

Are you satisfied with how they did the install? That is only 40min from me. I might have to consider this when I get my fit.

Originally I searched the Webasto Sites and installers because i've had 2 webasto sunroofs in the past. In NYC...well actually brooklyn, there was a place on 60th street, i'm assuming bayridge/ sunset park that would have done the install in a day...they told me bring it in the morning and pick it up at night...and they would have done it for $1000 plus tax. (dont remember the name but they are on the webasto list of installers).
And yes bought my car in suburban Philly...Piazza Honda in Drexel Hill.
