There should be shims where it bolts onto the track see if u can adjust them. Thats what i had to do with my ek. they sell the shims at a honda dealer if u need more.

No, it was not an option.

EX and Si had sunroofs. Other trims did not. For '92-'00 Civics in the US it's either a yes or no for each trim. None had it as an option. They were either standard with or standard without for each trim.

Can you take a photo of the sunroof for us? This can help us know if it's really stock or not.

A stock moonroof can be installed in a car that didn't come with one originally, but it's a lot of work. The entire roof has to be cut out and replaced for those cars.

I would suspect clogged drain tubes or possibly a seal. For stock moonroofs I would lean towards the drain tubes first.

That's aftermarket.

A stock Honda moonroof (at least from about 1990 and up) has a rubber seal on the glass and no seal on the roof skin. The roof skin folds inward to the car instead.

Aftermarket moonroofs and sunroofs have a seal on the roof skin because the installers just cut a hole in the roof and it has to be protected by something.

You'll probably have difficulty finding a replacement seal. See if you can find any names or numbers or such on it. You might be able to figure out who made the kit and order a replacement seal from them.

i did find the one shop up here in anchorage that installed it, i seen that it was aftermarket when i looked up the only name on there, blindex and it came up with donmar sunroofs and there is only one place up here that installs them, so i will be taking it there when they call me back. thanks for all your help NOFX you are a true asset the the community!
