Question:		Is it possible to install sunroof to Chevrolet Niva?
Answer:		If vehicle’s design does not provide for possibility of sunroof installation then, as a rule, during the sunroofs’ installation a breakdown of a roof’s structure can be caused. Chevrolet Niva vehicle was designed without such an option that is why we do not recommend installing the sunroof, which can cause problems to a structure of the roof.
