Re: sunroof flew off
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

Re: sunroof flew off
mine did the same thing... the glue was all dried up.. only about 25% was still gluey, the rest was hard as a rock.
and I know for a fact that an eg civic sun roof glass wont fit. I stuck an integra 2dr glass in my eg just to plug the hole but it wont close all the way.

Re: sunroof flew off
the glass has not been located.... if it would have shattered, I would have seen it. I am ordering new glass today most likely, and yes, I am pretty sure you are right about it being replaced before because it just looks like a sloppy job after a detailed inspection.

Re: sunroof flew off
No a civic one won't fit, but get one from a junk yard for cheap, or go to a local glass store and see if they have a cheap solution for you. LOL just switch to a RS roof 
No more sunroof problems

Re: sunroof flew off
but ya I'm glad it didnt hit anyone..... Though right before it popped I saw a silver tacoma drive by, and when I turned around I saw him again coming from a different direction.... not sure if it was the same one... but I got outa there
none of the junk yards have dc integras....
and the glass company wants anywhere from 300-600

Re: sunroof flew off
Get it re-installed at a professional glass shop so it doesn't happen again. Really sucks it happened to you but I laughed pretty good after seeing those pics.

Re: sunroof flew off
This just happened to me last night same exact way. Washed car and then was going about 110 with everything closed when all of a sudden the sunroof flew off. My rails are also rusty too and the adhesive is like all melted as well. Must be a rare but common problem with integras
