See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Toyota apparently felt that having the rear sunroof open was a potential safety problem. However, dual sunroofs are available in europe and elsewhere with the rear sunroof that can be popped open. You can modify your RAV4 by doing the following: - Obtain a replacement sunroof latch from Toyota (P/N 63250-16020, dealer cost of $42.22, retail is $50-$60) - Replace the rear latch. This is very easy, just remove 2 trim screws and 2 bolts that attach the existing latch, and reverse the procedure with the new part. - Remove the rear sunroof, and remove the latch mechanism from the roof with 2 screws. You will need to disassemble the latch and reassemble the locking arms in reverse so that the sunroof will lock in place. - The arms are held in place with snap rings that can be pried off with a small screwdriver. Be careful! The snap rings will fly across the room unless you cover them when you remove them. - Remove the latch arms and replace them in reverse, i.e., the left arm on the right, and vice versa. - After reassembling the latch arms, reattach the mechanism to the sunroof, and reinstall the roof. - You can examine the front sunroof latch system to see how it is supposed to look if you run into any difficulty.
