An aftermarket inline electric unit should run you in the $1k+ range installed.

Check out Webasto's website for a list of dealers in your area. We highly recommend the Hollandia models over the Webasto Solaire models. They come in different sizes to fit different cars. Your should take a 635/735 due to the curvature of the roof.

Honestly, you should never install a pop-out or top-sliding sunroof in that car because a structural brace will be cut out of the roof, and only inline sunroof units reinforce the roof by being bolted to the side rails of the roof, essentially replacing the structural brace. Other types of sunroofs only attach to the sheet metal.

Any other questions or if you're in the NJ/NY area, my family has been in the sunroof installation and repair business for 37 years.

Call me crazy but couldn't you get one off Morads and have a place install it? Might save you money and it's made too fit the cars.

You may have sealing issues down the road due to flex.
