How hard is it to installed the glass top on a CRX DX?

 

Yourself?

 

drill out the spotwelds of the current roof panel... ut in the glass top... reweld... repaint etc

 

yea cut and weld

may be able to find a shop to do it, but it'll cost more than it's worth

Never seen the glass top crx?

 

Aren't those only in Japan? How much would it be to get the glass top sent over to the states?

 

Yes I will be doing it myself I went to school for welding. I was just checking to see if it was very complicated. The glasstop you can sometimes find on ebay. They go for about $700 plus shipping.

Yes, or in Europe

 

I've been trying to find one for awhile...You will to remove you windshield (which is bound to break), remove interior roof trim them drill out all the spot welds.
Should be pretty easy to install since there shouldent be any body work involved

 

you can not just cut your roof off and put the glass one in. You will need to cut the roof off at te A pillars and reweld onto your car. There is alot of work to be done to make this work and fit corretcly and not leak.

 

lets see a pic shall we?

 

ask and ye will recieve.

 

ok thats sexy as hell!!!!!! i want one but id be afraid in cali that someone will break it.. to haters

 

Flipsta that is the cleanest rex i have ever seen...RHD too god damn you are a playa!! I know that isn't the stock kit on there tho...Mugen kick ***!!!

Bump for one tight *** ride dogg fo sho

 

You have to becareful when doing a roof skin on unibodies as thats the support for the car. If you just cut it out and dont support it the car could flex enough to put some indirect damage possibly on the car.

1. So yeh put a support accross the upper roof area( ie bar welded for
temp use maybe a X setup going from b pillar to a pillar. Hot rod guys do
this when they take bodies of cars for full restos to keep **** straight.

2. Remove interior and Get a spotweld drill bit and drill out spot welds

3. Fit glass roof on and weld it on.
I may have missed some stuff but thats the basic important steps

 

it clean but afraid something may fall on it and strach it or crack it or anything

 

This is such a nice rex!!! Damn. Just wondering about this glass top. I just bought a CRX for $700 just bought the mugen 6-piece body kit and wing.
