Hi i am new here and being a typical girl, i dont know much about cars...I am in the process of buying a 1998 prelude and was wondering if somebody can please tell me the diffence between a moonroof and a sunroof, and which one comes on a prelude?

sunroof is the one that uaually comes on the 4th gen preludes. A sunnroof is the solid piece that slides back and vents the car. A moonroof does the same thing except it is a piece of glass that you can look through without having to slide the roof piece back.

 

Thank you very much!!!

 

I think all 4th and 5th gens came with sunroofs, that being an opaque panel as mentioned above. I know I've seen places selling glass replacement panles that would in essence convert it to a moon roof though.

 

Hi Christy...

 

hi allison its me Nam, mikes old buddy i hope u like the car~!

 

check out her sig people....

"No leg humping...I'm taken kids. "

 

no, 5th gen is glass from the factory...

 

Thank you gentlemen for your answers! I have a question though, i am getting a 1998, so what generation is that...?

 

P.S. Hi Nam...heard much about you!

 

its a 5th gen....you heard a lot about me? good stuff i hope....i hope you and mike are doing good

 

Nam!! When are we all going to go on a double date?

 

a double date? hmm i dunno i gotta see when we're all free...soon tho soon. i think she's gonna be up here this weekend maybe we'll stop by and kick it with u guys for a bit.

 

Yes, and that would be me...What's wrong guys? Just cause she is involved with the most perfect guy doesn't mean you can't help her out a little.

 

involved with the most perfect guy? ahahahhahahha

 

Hmmm...When I say perfect, I am solely referring to my ***** my freind. Ask your sis, she should know.

 

ouch... nam= OWNED

that was uncalled for my fair skinned brotha

 

Hey, when you want to attack...I always say, hit 'em hard.

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD......

where can we find glass replacements for a 4th gen prelude?

 

Ok... once and for all. Moonroof == solid panel, IE> metal. Sunroof == glass or some transparent material, IE> Glass. If it opens up and over or slides back doesn't make a difference, or else what would the new civic's be (with glass) seeing how it does both?

 

you got those two *** backwards.... sunroof is metal. moonroof is glass.

 

errr ya that's what I ment It's the material, not the way it opens though

 

my boys 95 is totally different than my fifth gen his has a piece instead of glass and wont tilt like mine will.

 

that glass replacement you want weighs as much as a hood.

 

Weight, shmeight! Regardless of what that sucker weighs in at, I'd like to have a glass moonroof replacement for my metal-panel sunroof! That would just be so much nicer, I think!!! Anyone with any links?
