it was a hot day here in sc.... after washing my car, i decided a little run was in order. Well i got to 120 and my sunroof flew off. It was not even open... after looking for it for a while i had other things to take care of. So my question is instead of buying an integra sunroof glass panel, would a civic one fit? There are many more at lower prices on the market and can find one locally instead of paying for additional shipping.. I know its a long shot, but any chance of it fitting?

edit: is a dc4

i pretty sure a civic sunroof wouldn't fit. take it easy on the speed.............

dc101

ya your probably right.... i can be a dumbass sometimes.....

I also live in SC and frequently have to use my sunroof on my teg but I've never heard of this happening, good luck with finding a replacement.

dc101

well I never use ac so I always have the sunroof open... but in this case it was closed.....

I might be able to find it... just gotta go back to the stretch of road.....

I have a '98 Civic with a moonroof. I can measure it just in case for you, but I'm pretty sure it won't fit.

pics or it never happened

Tracks are still there.... the weather stripping was in the middle of the road...



I only have pics of the weather stripping because my car is not at my house because I dont have a garage But *IF* I find it, its a good chance its not broken due to over grown grass.

wow... i have never heard of this happening before.. lol sucks man =T but yeah dont think the civic will fit your teg.

dc101

this is stupid 80% of integra and civic parts are interchangeable.... but 1 pane on glass will not fit


oh well


Edit: photos



a Little rust here but nothing drastic that would effect it enough to fly off i don't think....

So you took it off and installed it back on incorrectly?

I am not sure about that. That is not the first time I have heard of that happening. Last year it happened to some dude in Florida, and who knows to how many other people that don't post on HT.

hahaha that sucks!
bet you had your window open and the pressure in the cabin from all that speed just blew it off, like a cork in a champaigne bottle!

redflaredcrx90

the civic sunroof doesnt fit the 2 tracks are diff. and i think onle glass is smaller than the other

dc101

To my knowledge the sunroof has never been taken off.


all my windows were closed because there was still water on the car. so it would have not built up enough cabin pressure....

You should go buy a Lotto ticket stat cuz shiet like that shouldn't happen...

NOFX

Yeah, but none of the exterior body parts are interchangeable.

Measured my '96-'00 Civic coupe moonroof.

17.5" by 32" approximately.

Try eBay and car-part.com though.

dc101

Anyone have some insight on how to put it back on... the right way

i would think that unless it was installed wrong at one point or if you track is bad, that it shouldnt just fly off. id take a closer look at the track the brackets from the glass might still be on there or there may be damage from the glass ripping off.

id suggest not doin 120 for the hell of it, it can be dangerous and expensive

The glass piece is held in with "window weld", same stuff that holds the windshield and rear side windows in place.

The mess I see on the sunroof, [looks like grease] does look a lot more like grease then it does window weld, the glass has been replaced at some point and done improperly, not using window weld or no promoter used. 94
