    Found a few pictures of Toyota owned show trucks with Inalfa Sunroofs and Roadwire Leather interiors. The pictures do not do justice for the grey glossed Tacoma. It is really nice.

    Inalfa Roof, specifically designed with a factory trim ring for OEM look.

    The entire cab was disassembled and all gray plastic was painted black, with a plastic permeating paint.

    Black carpet replaced gray carpet.

    Thanks for this thread:D.


    I just got my 07 tacoma on 3/28 and it has a sunroof. I thought it was a factory. So I just looked through the glove box and found the booklet. It's an Inalfa ASI not sure on the model but the book is for the 750FF/840FF/925FF. I love it it works better then any other I've had. 1 touch open/close with tilt. Everything matches perfect theres even a silver peice around the controls that matches the dash. It's not noisy at all.

    Here are some pics from my cell(camera is dead) The truck is dirty but oh well.

    Edit: its the 750FF 18"x30"

    Thats ok, it just looks really cool Is it a type of suede you think, and did it seem to match the rest of the interior? I have wanted to color my pillars black, and I think it would be cool to have a black headliner along with temp display cover too.

    IIRC it was like a synthetic suede and it matched up with everything well.

    things have changed since 1989. Many aftermarket sunroofs, If installed by a certified technician, are better then from factory.

    I've never bought a vehicle with an AM sunroof, always felt like they would leak.

    But I went ahead and trusted that in this day and age they would be better and not have these problems. Now I am wondering if I should have listened to myself!

    I have an Inalfa ASI 925 sunroof in my Taco, with the open/close/vent function. It slides back into the roof which is nice and has a sun shade with the headlinder material. I was extremely happy with the look, how it closes when the truck is turned off, and operation. Now I am experiencing my first problem, it is leaking like crazy.

    I have taken my truck through a car wash 4 times... rest has been handwashing, no issues first two times, slight drip second time near middle console (which I think could be expected since the water is at such a high pressure) this last time, no drips absolutely pouring in the corners down through the headliner. Soaked my jeans and my hair and before anyone asks YES IT WAS CLOSED :)

    Placed a call into Classic Soft Trim here in Cinci, the installer, last night and haven't heard anything back yet. Hope that they will take care of this issue, I am a pretty understanding person and honestly a drip here and there I will deal with especially considering the carwash to be the cause. But then again the dealer I bought the truck from gives out free tokens to their auto carwash and they were the installers, if there was a problem with taking the vehicle through the auto wash with this sunroof I would have expected them to say something especially since they ran my truck through their wash before delivering it to me.

    I don't utilize auto carwashes on a regular basis too concerned about long term effects on my paint, only when I need to clean off the underbody from mud or salt, but I think that I should be able to use it when needed without having water pouring in.

    I did take photos with my cell phone of the water as well. Has anyone experienced this problem?

    Damn dude that sucks....I have the same sunroof and have been through probably 7 washes through the car wash and no leaks. I hope things work out for you and they find a solution to what caused it to fail. I also hope they fix the problem. :(

    Thanks Streaks and Josh. I contacted the dealer by email today after not hearing back from the installer and they call me back and emailed me within an hour of receiving my email and asked when would be a good time to bring it in. They will handle the repair and provide a loaner. Way to go Performance Toyota!!!
