    95 reg cab. Flip up sunroof. Looks like there was a logo at one time maybe on the handle, but to faded to make it out. I suspect it may be leaking.

    Was a sunroof available for a 95 reg cab? Or most likely aftermarket?
    I was not able to find reference to a sunroof on toyotaoverstock.com, but that may have been me looking in the wrong place too.

    Thanks!

    I don't think a sunroof was ever offered for a Toyota pickup. It might be a dealer installed option.

    I got some windex a shop towel and cleaned it up enough to make out "sfc"
    so must be aftermarket.

    I bought a 1997 Tacoma LX extended cab brand new in 1997. White with gray interior and a factory sunroof. Truck was kind of a freak because it was a 2.7 5 speed with power windows and locks. At that time, power and sunroof was typically found on 6 cylinders and specifically SR5's back when they were the top rung of the ladder.

    I think you'd have to go WAY back to find a factory sunroof in a regular cab truck. I did own a 1983 reg cab long bed SR5 that had a factory sunroof though.

    Take a picture of the latch and I'll tell you if it's factory.

    I don't think it is. It says "SFC" on the handle. I google that and find a ton of sites selling replacement parts for it.
    thanks all

    I have an 01 DC. Anyone know if the dealership could still do this? I would LOVE a sunroof in mine.

    My 99 has a factory sunroof, at least it's listed on the original window sticker. I love having it here in Hawaii where it's almost always window weathe.

    It's coming in from the front of the sunroof i "think". It's possible it's the windshield because when it rains, I get a few drops of water from the headliner/windshield junction right in front of me when I hit the brakes. The other day when I turned the truck to the left, water dribbled from the headliner area onto the passenger door.
    I found my exact Sunroof model and a new Hardware kit is available for like $15. I need to take it apart and check it out. I will probably just hedge my bets and have the hardware kit on hand when I tear into it.
