Ive heard of it being done, but i dont think it would be worth all the trouble. FOr one thing your car didnt come equipped with a drainage system for the extra water that may occur when it rains or the car is washed. That means youll just have water splashing in on you. I know for sure it an rather expensive mod. Just save tha money!!

The drainage is just a tube that you can get as well, the sun roof assembly has its own gutter system.
Now you need to remember that you couldnt just "cut a hole" in your roof and think that everything is going to work. If you look at a civic that has a sunroof, the metal is flanged inward to make the system work.
What i had heard, if this has any relevance, is that the roof on a hatch is slightly too short to hold the rear tracks and assembly. But hey give it a try.
You know you can get a new roof from a OEM replacement company i.e. certi-fit, and make it work on your car, that would probabally be the best plan.
