Looking for a Cheap alternative to installing a Sunroof? Try this on for size.

You have to admit, a vehicle just looks better with a sunroof. Yet most vehicles off the factory floor don't come with a sun roof. On top of that installing an after market sunroof can be an expensive proposition not to mention that it's not always the easiest thing to do on an older vehicle without complications.

Thats why when we saw this clever idea on EBay, we thought, wow, now that's not just cool but clever and comical all wrapped up into one low cost product. The Magnetic Sunroof! That's right folks, the EBay user "bridgeimports" out of Beaumont, TX is marketing a Magnetic Sunroof. If you can't afford the real thing, how about the next best. Lets let "bridgeimports" tell you about it in his own words:

Do you want your car to have the look of a real sunroof? You can install it in 5 minutes!!

Extremely fashion and new apparent sun roof, made of a sticker that will give any car the image of a real sunroof.


Our self-adhesive sunroof DECANO™ has our own patented technology , it consists on a series of flexible laminated magnetic layers, weatherproofed and framed with a self-adhesive tape.

READY TO INSTALL.- The DECANO™ self-adhesive sunroof comes completely assembled (31” X 18”) in a tube package. (20”X3”).

TO INSTALL: Just clean, place it and paste it!

Clean: Clean thoroughly the car surface where the sunroof is going to be installed

Place it.- Extend the adhesive sunroof on the roof of the car and with our MAGNETIC TECHNOLOGY, you can see it on, center or move it as many times as you want until you find the correct spot where you want to install it.

Paste it,. When you selected the correct spot, just take off the adhesive protective peel, , press it and it´s READY and securely added to your car's roof and you can use it now as a part of your car.
The DECANO™ adhesive sunroof feels like glass, it's anti-scratch and mirror like.

Each package comes with photographies and step to step installation instructions.

Innovative design and easy to place installation, with position testing using magnetic elements, and final installation through special and easy to use adhesive.

Easy to remove if original car shape is desired or convenient. No need to make holes or damage original car structure.

High Status at a very low price !!!

A CAR WITH A SUNROOF LOOKS EXTREMELY GOOD!!!


So if you're looking for some class without the cash, fake it with this cool product. Heck, get two! One for the outside and one for the inside so when you look up, you might just fool yourself!

This candidate for Invention of the Year is available on eBay, which fortunately gives buyers the ability to ask this inventor some questions about his self-adhesive sunroof. Below is perhaps the best one, and the rest you can read, no, you have to read (they're that funny), after the jump.

You know, the '99 Alero doesn't have a some roof. It will soon!

Q: My car does not have an anti lock braking system - i am interested in an abs light for my dash - i cannot afford nor am i interested in the actual braking benefits of an abs system - i am solely interested in tricking people into thinking my car is safer than it is. do you or are you looking into prototyping this product - it seems like its up your alley.
A: We are working on new ideas, thank you.

Thanks for the tip, Brent!

A: We are working on new ideas, thank you.

Q: I honestly think this is the greatest product i've seen on ebay in a while. Honestly if i didn't have a sunroof i think i would buy two and make it look like my car was a T top..I think you should sell that as a seperate product as well....and if you do, give me a free one for the idea.
A: Thanks!

Q: I don't understand why someone would want the look without the functionality? Is this a gag to fool your friends?
A: We came with this idea, sometimes people just want to have the look of a sunroof, and can´t afford or don´t have the permission to make a hole to their/parent´s car.

Q: Do you have a holographic version so that if someone looks from a certain angle, the sunroof will look like it's open? Do you also have a sunroof visor that I can stick on to look like I have a real sunroof visor? Do you also sell controls that I can stick on the ceiling of the car so I can act like I have a sunroof controls? I'm curious, If I stick it on the hood of my car would this then be called sunhood? This is one of the best ideas I have ever heard of.
A: We are still working on having more products like this, at this moment we only have this self adhesive sunroof. You can put it in the hood if you want. Thank you

Q: What kind of tool would I use for cutting the whole? will it leak?
A: This sunroof is ornamental, it´s only a sticker with the shape of a sunroof that you put in your car´s roof and gives your car the look of a real sunroof, but you don´t make any holes to the car, and you can´t see through it. You don´t make any modifications to your car.

Q: So what type of motor does it take and how do i go by wiring it all up and locating the switch??
A: This sunroof is ornamental, it´s only a sticker with the shape of a sunroof that you put in your car´s roof and gives your car the look of a real sunroof, but you don´t make any holes to the car, and you can´t see through it. You don´t make any modifications to your car.

Q: How much would it cost for a shop to do the install on this sunroof on a 1994 Subaru Legacy L?
A: This is only a sunroof sticker that gives your car the look of a real sunroof. You can install it yourself, you don´t need to make holes in your car and you will not be able to see through it.

Q: Will I have to declare the addition of this modification to my insurance company and will it compromise the structural integrity of my car?
A: It doesn´t compromise the structural integrity of your car because it´s just a sticker with the shape of a sunroof that you put in your car´s roof.

Q: I would really love the open-roof experience of a sunroof. I'm very excited to see that this can give me that feeling without drilling holes. What a product! How does it work?
A: First you clean your car´s roof You select a place where you want you Selfadhesive sunroof to be, check for any bubbles . Remove the peripherical edge binding and press the molding frame against the car. As I told before, this self adhesive sunroof is just ornamental, and will give only the look of a sunroof.

Q: Will this work with my convertible?
A: If it has a solid top you can use it.

Q: can I get away with only buying one, for two cars... and switch which one I put it on depending on my mood?
A: Once you install the sunroof if you take it off, the sunroof won´t damage your car, but it will not be able to use on another car, this is for prevent burglars to steal it.

Q: Can this be put on other parts of the car, such as the hood or trunk lid, or do you have to put it on the roof? Does it fit all models? I have a Dodge Stratus right now, but I'm probably gonna get a Dodge Viper pretty soon.
A: Yes, you can put it on other parts of the car. If fits all models.

Q: How does the sun get thru the roof?
A: The sun won´t get thru the roof, because the self adhesive sunroof is a sticker that gives your car the look of a real sunroof, but you don´t make a hole to the car.

Q: how much horsepower does this add?
A: The self adhesive sunroof doesn´t add any horsepower to the car.

and if it's closed there's almost always a detour.
Sometimes if you're lucky when you take the detour, instead of the fastlane, you get to see places you've never been

enough of that
