4dr to 2dr sunroof question
i may not be posting this in the right area and if so then please move it to the right area but here's the deal...the guy that owned the car before me btw it's a 94 civic dx coupe, he noticed that there was a leak on the sunroof and removed all the sunroof parts and CAULKED the top of the sunroof 
not too happy about that but i have a guy that is going to fix it all for me as long as i get the parts now my question is will all the sunroof parts/motor from a 4dr lx work just the same in my car? because i noticed the motor is in the VERY back in this 4dr compared to where my 2dr would go in the front i would like to know before i spend the money to get all the stuff

2 totally different sunroofs. the 2dr roofs seem to be a bit bigger and go over the car when they slide and the 4 door goes back under the roof when it slides. get the same parts from the same car just to be on the safe side.

Well, to my knowledge, the DX didn't come with a factory sunroof. Aftermarkets are notorious for leaking, due to poor quality or install. It's possible that a Honda OEM was retrofitted into your car, but that seems like quite an expense for someone with a base model coupe. You may want to take it to a custom sunroof shop so they can take a look at it (they should do it for free) and give you your options.

I'm not sure, I don't have much experience with aftermarket roofs. Just open the yellow pages to automotive, and hit up 3 or 4 shops. Go with the place that sounds most knowledgeable and has good prices.

Re: 4dr to 2dr sunroof question (95civ4dr)
this one was definetly not a manual sunroof i talked to the guy that i bought the car off...not the one that did the sunroof massacre 
that is the one before him but he told me that it was an electric sunroof and that the button was up where the box itself was so it's definetly an aftermarket sunroof so yea i'm just going to get a hold of a place and see what they would charge but first i have to get the car back running swapping a new engine in her same 1.5 just a lower milage 1.5
