I've searched but can't find what I'm looking for, although I'm sure there are plenty of threads about this. I want to find some info about putting in a factory sunroof from an EX or SI into my 98 civic dx hatch.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?

 

You can either try cutting a section out of an EX/Si roof and welding it in. Or see if you can order in a roof skin for an overseas civic hatch that came with a sunroof. (option 2 is probably better if you can pull it off.

 

i would take it to the shop to do. doing it wrong will cause a lot of problems with leaks and all.

 

yup buy a wrecked ex si and cut n paste... lol haha u know what I mean take it to a good reputable body shop.

 

I heard ex/si roofskin wont work because the different curvature of the roof. I have been looking into this too but I'm currently broke

anybody with one installed give info and specs... pics please

 

I don't know about the curviture, but the roof on sedans and coupes is shorter than the hatch roof, no matter how you slice it you have to put two roofs together. Which isn't easy to do without some warping. Some overseas hatchback models came with the sunroof though, if you could get a roofskin for one of those shipped over, you should be able to buy one brand new from a honda dealer and have it shipped. Just as an example a roofskin for a '98 EX coupe lists for $413.85

 

youd have to get the drain tubes too or custom tubes. and the switch with relays

 

Thanks for the input. Ya, it would be good if someone who has actually done it could chime in with some pics or any other ideas. I didn't think about the roof curving different than the coupe... :/
