it should but right in but a headache is going to come with it and be sure to seal it the right way the first time so your not taking a showing the next time it rains good luck

its not a universal sunroof its the factory slider theres real sealing it has a rubber strip that meets part of the roof that is bent down and if it does leak the sunroof frame catches it and it drains out of the four corners so really the only sealing would be the rubber seal around the glass to the roof if thats all i have to do

any one ever try or accomplish this ?

I think your in for a rude awakening when you try and do this if I am not mistaken it will be more then just cutting a hole in the roof of your car. the factory sunroof mounts to channels that are a part of the roof sheetmetal, non sunroof cars do not have them. The way I have heard of most people doing it is to cut out the roof and install the roof sheet metal from a sunroof car
