Sun Roof

[kit88]

Hi, I just got a sunroof for my civic 88 hatch back, mine doesn´t
have one, somebody got information to put this into my car, or may cold tell me how much I have to pay of labor?

Thanks

is it a power sunroof? Or just a pop up? Either way its a lot of work.

its a oem power sunroof

you need the headliner out of a sunroof car or customize your sun roof. Other than that its pretty strait forward, cut the hole, drop it in. I would recomend new seals if yours are used.

Yup silent is right, cut your current roof and headliner or get one from a car that has the rood, plop it in, add the new seals. I've seen some people weld it in though.

my pop up roof took about an hour to install after the roof was cut, (roof took like 30 - 40 mins to cut cuz we found writing on my roof lol)



but a motorized one would take alot of work to put in imo.

my sun roof doesnt work for some reason, never even tried to mess with it yet. Hmmm i replaced the fuse so maybe its the motor (hopefully not). bah i'll worry about it once I do my interior :-D

Hmmm, I've heard of shops that charge up to $800 to do this, I guess that includes parts and everything too?

sunroofs are a bitch! But, I'll never regret replacing the stock POS with custom plexiglass (even if it isn't show quality), because I can see out of it. And on moonlit nights with my wife in the car on a backroad somewhere... well... Anyway, it's cool too cuz instead of having one arm getting tan from being out the window, they both get some sun...heehee

we used tin snips hehe

I'd use a dremel with titanium cutting disk, may take 20 minutes but well worth it, great precision too.

dont do it yourself or let some idiot do it. when they put my roll one in they cut the whole too big and it leaked and its just gay

jig saw with blade for cutting thin metal. Best way to get the hole size is make a stencle from the car you took it out of

or trace around the sunroof and cut it smaller then that and gradually make the hole bigger till it fits
