So here's a real technical question for all you h-t people... My friend recently crashed his rare "Rainbow series" '95 Si EG(w/e the **** rainbow series is...) and he pretty much parted out his car and he asked me if I wanted his sunroof with all the hardware+wiring but my question is how the **** am I gonna go through with this process... If anyone has pics and step by step procedures that would be freakin' greatly appreciated . If you guys are wondering why I would do such a thing and well that's because summer is coming up plus we all know how it feels to drive w/o AC and no power windows is a bitch lol... Also because we're bored and we wanna do some kind of project sometime next month and **** I'll even post pics if someone can give me some tips/pointers. Thanks H-T you guys are the greatest!

 

bump for a technical guy in need

 

I don't hear too many people doing this but it's possible. I don't recall if there is any support difference in the roof between the models. Just get the measurements from you friend's Si, pull everything out and reinstall everything back in. I recommend getting a Helms for the wiring schematics. Also use the good sealant/adhesive to prevent leaking and rusting. Will possibly require some fabbing for bracing.

 

ohhhhhh rainbow series...the rarest of the rare

listen to that man up there cause i think thats as good as it will get haha

 

Yeah but I need more details...

 

Bump doesn't anyone out there have some helpful tips!?

 

Bump

 

dude call carcraft..they've done it before
they even had an article on stupid street
showing step-by-step procedures

 

pimpmyride on mtv does it too

 

I would first suggest just don't do it, not worth the hassle.....

But if your gonna do it, I would think the easiest way would be cut the sunroof off of one car and cut a hole in the other roof and weld it in. That way you can't fuckup the measurements.

thats how I would do it it I was going to.....

 

Sweet thanks guys...

It's not really something you can do at home. When I read up on it, not even all bodyshops qualify to do the job. There are very critical reinforcement methods and safety standards into doing this procedure. I highly advice not to do it at home yourselves.

 

Remove the roof skin from the Si and swap it onto the DX. It's going to be a LOT of work.

rainbow series is the ****...mad props on whoever has that

 

if you do it, it will probably leak. I would advise not doing it, but its your car

 

you are a better man than me, cause i would pay to get that done.
