1996 Honda Civic DX - Sunroof Replacement
TLDR: Bought an EJ6, friend broke the sunroof on accident. Company who manufactured the sunroof has been out of business since 2006...
Need help finding a replacement. $20 US to anyone who can point me in the right direction
Hi all, this is my first post. I've been looking FOREVER online for the past 3-4 weeks to find a replacement for my sunroof...
Not too long ago I bought a nice little red dx coupe, 5spd. However, my bad luck got the best of me and I lost the keys inside the car as I was cleaning it the day I got it
Called up my friend since he had a similar civic of mine to try to see if his key would work to open it (I was so desperate) we tried many things to break into the car itself but nothing worked.
I had left the sunroof open a crack and it would come up a little as you tugged on it, so my friend tried to get his arm in through the sunroof to get the keys on the seat. He was close, but
shattered the whole glass...
I have been looking for so long for a replacement glass, since it is aftermarket it makes it SUPER difficult to find anything close that'll fit. I called every glass body shop in my area and none of them
could help me, so I seriously hope anyone on here can help me, otherwise i'll take my losses and sell the car as is.
Here's pics of the damage

Here's the information I know
The name of the actual assembly is the Inalfa/Farmont F-700
Dimensions of the glass are 14 1/4 x 30 1/2 as stated Here
Inalfa is the company behind the manual sunroof
Currently out of business
I seem to be stuck, I don't know what to do or where to go for a sunroof... If anyone can help me and can successfully find me a replacement I will send them $20 USD on Paypal.
Cheers.

I don't know your time window, you may need to remove the sunroof molding etc and see what size the hole is cut in the roof and order a different brand that uses the same size hole.
That is the path I will be going with mine since I'm in a similar boat.

Yeah. Would you have any suggestions on a brand or where I could get a whole new kit? I know I have the measurements, just not on me ATM. Thanks for the reply!

I also believe westwood body sealer was used to seal the roof ring. Never had an issue with it.
