Okay, my sunroof has major rust bubbles, but it doesn't leak. I need to replace the outer seals and the panel itself.

I can buy the panel itself from hondaautomotiveparts.com for $150 and then go somewhere and have it
painted/installed, or try to get the panel cheaper somewhere else

or

I can buy a used panel, get it painted to match my car (red) and then install it.

What should I do? How much will it cost to paint and install a new one? Any other alternatives?

Thanks,
Alex

Replace with dx/hf roof panel but it's gonna be more costly

I just replaced my sunroof of my crx.. if you don't have a crx then I probably can't help you because the hb's and crx's have different kinds of roofs. I just went to a junkyard and took the roof from another crx.. I completely disassembled all the parts from both roofs and reinstalled.. clean all your sliders and remember that WD40 is your friend. It worked great.. oh, and I went with a black roof on a red crx.. trust me.. the black roof on the red car that has black moldings looks WAY better than the red roof!

Got my roof from a local junkyard for 50$

Did you remove the Whole roof or just the sunroof panel and rails? Is the whole roof removable without cutting anything? How do you get it off?

I'm asking because I have a wrecked Si CRX with a good roof and sunroof I would like to put on my DX CRX.

If you want to put a sunroof on a dx than you're gonna need more help then I can offer.. You can consider 2 things.. Robbing a bank (cuz yur gonna need the cash) and putting in a call to GOD (cuz yur gonna need him too)

if yur just replacing the sunroof on a car that CAME with a sunroof then yea, if the motor and rails work just take the panel.

yes I will just forget it then, no sunroof is less weight anyways, and what do I need sunshine and fresh air for anyways.

if you have a sunroof its pretty simple drop down everything from your headliner dome light a pillars rear view mirror sunvisors etc... then the whole sunroof rack just unbolts but if you dont have one no sense in wasting money trying to put one in.
