i have searched and found ****. i have a 93 civic si hatch. my sunroof is broken and i was wondering if i can replace the sunroof glass with a plexiglass piece instead. i mean the sunroof itself pos out when opened right? there wont be any problems with it hitting the inside of the roof. i do not know if anybody has done this but if somebody has, let me know how. i dont want to plug it or whatever, what the hell for, might as well sell it and get a cx or something. i want it to be functional. i am not about to spend 500 bills on a damn piece of glass. please help me out. thanks

1) calm down a bit when you type. we understand its makes you mad
2) yes you can use plexiglass. make sure you get it thick enough

i apologize,,,,, awesome, what thickness would be best? would clear or darkened plexiglass be better? what kind glue should i use? im a newbie when it comes to glass

my sunroof broke and my windshild broke cuz my hood flew up doin like 90 so i had my window replaced by safelight autoglass and when he wasnt lookin i snagged one of the tubes of black **** they use to put the window in and i used 1/2 inch plex u just have to be careful not to crack it when cuttin.. i went through like 4 pieces..

did you have any problems with leaking? how did you do it, you got any pics?

Aespooncivic

yes leakin cuz i sealed it when it was rainin (stupid)
i went to home central/homedepot/lowes which ever one u have and measured my sunroof i think it was 33x13 not to sure it was an after market one the cut it slightly bigger than u want it. i put it over the sunroof used marker to mark where i needed to cut and got a tile cutter as pictured...(5-10 $$s at home depot)
cut(scored) the curve i needed and made sure it was deep enough.. and used needle nose pliars to break off the excess.. used the **** i snagged from satilite and there ur ghetto sun roof....

make sure u whipe off the surface and MAKE SURE ITS DRY... and seal the top and INSIDE..

good luck need anymore info just let me know....

ps.. piece of plexi cost me about 10$$'s
