Is it possible to add a moonroof to a 96 accord that doesnt presently have one? How much might it cost and what would be the pros and cons?

 

Anything's possible, and given a few minutes you could probably scare up a few listings by a "GOOGLE!!" search.

The Pro's:
1) They can be installed into cars with no prior provisions
2) They don't require drain hoses and major modifications to the interior
3) You don't suffer a headroom penalty as you do with the OEM system.

The Cons:
1) My understanding is that there are none which retract into the roof, as an OEM system would. They are all Flip-up
2) They require a lip (or flange) to allow the sunroof assenbly to seal against the roof panel. Thus they don't sit flush with the roof (raised slightly)
3) Although they can be installed by John Q Public (with the proper tools, patience and a straight eye, It's best that a professional installer do it, what with cutting the roof and headliner (certainly a one-time chance thing).

As to the cost, that would be determined by the route you took, and the price quoted by the installer.

Back in '93... I had a sunroof put onto my car which was a '92 Sundance Duster. Cost was ~ $175 which included a plastic bottom cover for the sunroof (thus it was "blacked out" unless I took the cover off). It was a pop up type where the back went up two or three inches, or I could complete remove it.

Call around, I can't imagine that the price has gone up that much.

 

There is a company called "american sunroofs" or something like that... it can cost 1200 dollars, but you won't be able to say that it wasn't stock.... ....or... you can go to a cheaper way... with those that lift and you remove the glass on top....
...either way..... .....sunroof its so nice...

 

I found this on the i'net, should answer some of your questions
