so your wanting to fix your sunroof but not with an Si one from another car??? That makes nooooooooo sense at all to me. Yes the integra would be easier to find but with an item like this do you REALLY wanna try and ghetto rig it in?? Just get the right one so you don't have to worry about leaks or any other stupid problems.

What they are saying is fix it the right way. If you don't want rust get the carbon fiber one from visionmotorworks.com
EDIT: IT SUCKS

i dont believe another civic sunroof will work. you could probly make it work if ur willing to do some fab work but i dont know if it would be worth it. i lucked up and found a good working one for 25 bucks if i went to pull it out. what problems does ur sunroof have?

It will look best with an OEM replacement.

No it's not, it's just like a cf hood. I don't know much about how carbon fiber works but I believe the resin is what is on the back. Here is a picture of mine when I got it:

basically the only options are:
1. keep same rusting sunroof
2. buy a used sunroof in better condition that may eventually rust
3. buy a carbon fiber or fiberglass sunroof plug kit (replaces sunroof with a unopenable panel)
4. buy a carbon fiber or fiberglass sunroof panel off the website listed previously (also sometimes
on ebay and there is another seller)
5. weld in a roof skin off a DX of HF CRX

the sunroof is NOT rusted i just wanted to use a glass cap

and also the motor is shot ive taken out the switch and cleaned it / replaced it with known working one

i just asked the question bc i wantd to re[place the cap with a glass one not CF

what i was trying to say was if the opening for the sunroofs are the same (not the entire assembly)

so i could just switch out the caps

i have also tried to do this but did not find anyone that did a swap on it.

i guess the best bet is to get the cf one, but if you do find out what fits, let us know cause i rather have a glass sunroof also
