It's an aftermarket moonroof. The US and Canada got shafted when it came to factory moonroofs on our EJs.

This is an aftermarket moonroof in a 6th gen ('96-'00) Civic DX hatchback. (This happens to be in a '97 DX hatchback.)



This is an OEM moonroof in a 6th gen ('96-'00) Civic EX coupe. (This happens to be in a '98 EX coupe.)

Well, in the US market at the time the hatchback (as it is seen today too) is mostly seen as a car for peopel who just want to carry a lot. It's seen as being about as cool as station wagons are seen by most Americans.

So the need for a performance model (the EK4) in the US is well, incredibly low.

In the US:

Coupe (2dr) = Sporty
Hatchback (3dr) = Dopey
Sedan (4dr) = Family
Wagon (5dr) = Family/Older Drivers (think "Griswolds")

Not that I believe that, but it's sort of the feeling the general American market has or had towards each body type (of any car - not just Civics).

Think abotu other cars in that body style to try to geta bit better idea. By now many of us might be a bit bias towards the Civic versions. What do you think of when you see an Accent, Focus, Metro or Pinto hatchback?

Sure, you'll always have your guy who sees a Metro and thinks, "You know what I need to do? I need to get that into the 9s." But most peopel will look at him and just say, with a quizzical expression, "Why?"

Yea, that's my old 97 Civic hatchback. I bought the sunroof for ~700 installed. I have since sold the car for 4200 back in 2005. Here's an updated link to the Civic Hatchback Sunroof photos.

You can see the WRX in the back. That's what I sold my hatchback for.

Yes, in the US all '96-'00 Civic EX coupes, Si coupes and EX sedans have moonroofs stock.

The other trims do not.

In the UK some of the later 1.4 EK's got electrics. Mine came with wind-down windows and no sun-roof but I got the matador red pearl paintjob :D

Problem over here isn't how many toys you get. I could insure the same EK hatch with electrics for the identical price as my own. The problem here in the UK is insurance.
£1650 for my 1.4 Hatch.... now that's shafted

Mmm.... the Jordan EK... gorgeous bit of kit although the yellow interior is a bit garish. There's one around here, can't remember what number...

All the info is pretty much bang on. But rather random in the middle of a thread about sunroof's....
