Does anyone know what year and what model EG's came with pop up sun roofs? havent seen too many and very interested. I want to take out that heavy as motor i have for mine and convert it to a pop up

kotton909

i think the pop up sun roofs are only custom 1 put into non si and ex eg's

Relic1

EX and SI have a power sun roof, but it will move to the pop up position as well.
I think there was an option to have it on other models but those are the only two I know for sure.

if it's a none power, pop up style roof, then it's aftermarket.

Didn't Canadian ones have pop up sunroofs?

graveltravel2

92-95 civic SI, EX and of course the EX sedan models came with the "pop up" sunroof.

beatsperdream

pop up or you talking about the one where you can pop "out" like take whole thing out. please be precise. because ex, si did come up pop "up"

biggishjay

power was on the 92-95 si and ex..i think he is talking about non power

CHI-D16

i believe SOME dx modles came with the pop up non electric sunroof

i didn't pay attention to that but yeah so he is saying non-power. those were def on some dx models, was it an option though? my friend has the non power one but its originally from canada only one ive ever seen

Relic1

I have all but the 94 sales brochures for civic's, no non power pop up sun roofs mentioned anywhere.
But I know some dealers did dealer options for them. It's still an aftermarket piece though, and I seriously doubt that it's the same size as the OEM piece.

Yea im talking about NON power sun roofs. i've seem them before but didnt pay much attention to what car model it was

twentytwocpb

i had a dream about this last night (LOL) and was thinking that maybe the non electric pop ups came on civics as an option when they were first purchased but still.....i want one lol

Relic1

measure the opening, go to place that installs pop up roofs and ask if they have one that fits in that sized hole.

The EG, or Del Sol has a targa top.

The EK or EJ chassis has a sunroof.

Why does everyone call the USDM coupe/hatches EG's? They're not

if you want to get technical, the DelSol is an EG1 or EG2, not an EG.
There is no chassis code EG, all have a following numeral.
There are EG1-9s in Japan that are civics, but since saying you have an EH2, EH3 or EJ1 confuses most people that don't know the actual chassis codes for the USDM civics... calling the 92-95 chassis an EG is easier. (and even though you say it's wrong, you still knew what was meant)

By the same token, the EJ is actually the 78-82 civic, but the EJ(#) could be anything from 93-00... and the EK(#) never touched US shores...

stop being so literal, this dead horse has been beaten to death more times than anyone cares to count.

why are we going off topic any answers out there?

Actually, no. I thought he meant Del Sol.

WRONG. 78-82 civics were SM, SL, SR, SS, or ST.

And people still use it incorrectly?

I simply think it's a JDM fanboy fad, cause ever since I joined this site, I see it over and over. But not in real life....hrm, interestin how that works.

Sorry, got sidetracked. I havn't seen any with pop-up roofs, unless they were CDM/JDM/EDM. A sunroof installer will tell you for sure.

the EG chassis code (no number) was produced in Japan, the alternative to the SM/L/S/T chassis. (I learned this only a few weeks ago myself)

I now have the 92-93 and 95 USDM civic sales brochures (hopefully being scanned and posted soon), a non electric roof is not mentioned.

it was not an option in the US. my friend has a pop up OEM from canada and it is def not the same size. its much smaller and more circular. other than canada i dont know where it was offered

If you see a manual sunroof in a 5th or 6th gen Civic, it's aftermarket. It coudl have been a "dealer option", but it's not a factory part.

The reason you see these on DXes and not EXes or Si's is because it would be difficult, if not impossible to replace a stock power moonroof with an aftermarket sunroof unless you have one that's bigger than the current stock moonroof. Most people put an aftermarket sunroof into a car because the car did not come with any sort of factory moonroof. Most people would not dream of replacing the stock one with one more likely to leak and one without the power option.

The outer edge and seal of a stock moonroof is not the same as the aftermarket ones. To put an aftermarket sunroof in a car originally equipped with a factory moonroof (and keep the stock roof), you're going to have to cut a hole bigger than the stock moonroof so you can install the new seal around the fresh cut in the roof. Stock moonroofs generally have the roof curl in around the moonroof, with the rubber seal on the glass, not the roof.

If you really want the "lighter" aftermarket manual sunroof, sell your car and get a DX or something instead.

I'd like to know how heavy that motor alone is anyway.

Oh, and I agree... If you don't understand chassis codes, just don't use them. It's fine to not know, but don't pretend you do.

FINALLY! Some help thanks NOFX

Lots of other people helped too.

Oh, and I can't recall looking at a 5th gen moonroof seal lately, but I would figure that it would be similar to the 6th gen one.
