Default Glass sunroof on a crx?

I am looking to put a glass sunroof that retracts. I am not looking for the jdm(whole glass roof) but a regular glass sunroof. Does anyone know if there is a website or where I can get it from?

Check with your local glass shops, they can normally do stuff like that....not sure about electrical retractable ones though. There were also dealer installed "moonroofs," not sure if thats what you are looking for.

just get a custom glass cut in spec of your stock moonroof panel. that can connect to the hinges/rails.

just give them a call and they should help you getting the right size and all. very friendly customer service and fairly cheap. mine is glass and pre-tinted about 15%. it is also electric and very easy to install. it will definitly be easier for you. i had to cut the hole.

hey, a couple of tips if you're gonna cut the hole yourself. use a jigsaw with a metal blade, and have a friend there to hold the peice when your close to finishing it, it shakes like a sun of a bitch. also, be careful where you mount it, the headliner might not work if its in the wrong place, because of its contour. also, don't cut just the bare metal, tape it off then mark your cut line. also, there's a support beam right through the middle of the roof that has to come out, you can do that however you want. i put a glass sunroof that pops out from a junkyard and did it myself, it was easy, no longer than two hours at the most. mine looks great, although the one that retracted looked slick, man. but i like mine, its nice on a hot day

ok so i have a question myself.... i have one of those cheap aftermarket pop-up sunroofs in my hf that was already there when i bought it. I couldnt pass up the deal on the car but this roof is making me not spend any money on the car because i would never try to show it off with having that roof. Now do i have any options on another way to go with this to put an actual sliding rood or anything i can do so this will be gone so i will love this car like all other crxs i have owned?

Do you remember which series/style you got?

They seem to offer a bunch of different ones.

webasto, and ASC are the only sliding sunroofs that i would buy.

we install both at our dealership, and i love the features on the webasto..

auto close when the car is shut off, one touch open, close, and vent.

it kicks ***!

Wow bro...please let me know where you found one for $160.

The cheapest Webasto I've found so far is over $300!
