    Looks GREAT

    This is the first vehicle I have owned without leather and a sunroof, But I am thinking about leather because i eat while I drive, have dogs and leather cleans up easily. I could live without another sunroof. For now I covered the seats and put foam under the covers. Looks like ass,,,but feels great.

    The way I go though cars I hesitate to spend money I won't get back in a year or two. This is my 3rd in 5 years I think I will keep this one though... LOL

    I snapped a pic with my phone of the switch location for those who are curious. I like the location.

    It depends where the sunroof is cut in. Mine could have been cut in further foward but I'm happy with it. If you look at installs that have kept the sunglass holder, the middle of the sunroof lines up with the center of the door pillars, if you know what I mean. IMO its too far back.

    Well yea I'm not sure about adjusting the location. I told them to put it as far forward as possible and this is where it ended up. I've looked at a lot of other different cars with sunroofs and most have about the same location as mine.

    Did they trim the sunglass holder away to make room for the sunroof? if you have it there the roof sits to far back to be functional. I am investigating having this done to my access cab.

    Did you heat the fronts and backs or just the fronts? Thinking about doing both when I do my install but am not sure if I'll have issues since the back seat bottoms fold forward.
