SunRoof in Ek Hatch
Are there any members that have installed a sunroof in your Hatch? I have a 97 Hatch and a totalled 00 Si. I want to take the skin off the roof of the Si and Weld it in and shave the top on my 97. pix if you have them Please.

I have sunroof on my hatch, ya if you are not a weight saving freak, then it is sorta cool for summer times.
I have nothing to say about swapping the roof or cutting hole, but as a precaution, don't shave the roof (if you want to fill up the black strip area). That's for water to drain and when you open your door in a rain, the water on the roof will pour in like crazy, cause it is not trapped inside the channel.
Unless it is a car that never sees rain nor snow.

Are you talking about swapping the coupe roof to your hatch?
The coupe roof is bigger so you'd have to cut it in half.
I think it would be cheaper to have an aftermarket one installed.

Don't waste your time with all that work you would have to do...just get an aftermarket sunroof put in or do one yourself. Cutting the roof off of your hatch would not be a good idea...

Hey, I'm a weight saving freak and I have a sunroof. Of course mine is not an electric one and I either pop it up or take it out in the summer. It actually saved me about 4 pounds or so as well.

Well you said it yourself, not an motorized one. Glass + everything else = dead weight

agreed.. why do we get hatchcraps with 100 horses and others get twice as much..
not to mention other goodies.. such as recaro, momo wheel, power window, power lock..

Re: (Yeung)
