Default sunroof seal

im looking for a 89 accord lxi sunroof seal.
i have searched this forum and others plus googled etc etc and havnt found one. only place i havnt checked is honda dealer.

is there a top secret place for them no ones sharing?

reallY would like to fix this as the water will collect on the head liner and gives me a shower in the morning.
this is my wifes car and im starting to really like it so im repairing everything so far new axels and new stearing rack only one ball joint to fix and itsl be vibrating free.. also what can cause the auto tranny to slip? low level of atf?

thanks for reading my rant

You are looking for a product that is now 20 years old, and not something people usually replace.

My suggestion would be to contact an aftermarket sunroof group and see if they have something that would work.

Yeah, I think Honda is only required to go back like XX number of years, now it *may* benefit you to call Honda to see if they can find one. The "Classics" section has guys doing rebuilds and buying brand new OEM quarter panels for Civics from dealerships.

So there's a chance, but 20 years old for a rubber strip may be pushing it.

Check the drain tubes to make sure they are not plugged. Honda may still carry them; but, even if they did they will cost an arm and a leg. Look under sliding roof.

Your best bet if you need the seals, is to go with TheMuffinMan's initial suggestion to contact an aftermarket sunroof installer.

I know, it happens to me all the time. Usually, it's GhostAccord that beats me out.

Check the drain tubes first.

thanks for the help guys cheers. i did blow compressed air/and ran a thin wire in the tubes and they seemed fine i might remove the headliner for a visual check.

i can see on the top of the sunroof that theres a small gap in the center towards the rear where water may get in. reason i may need a new seal.

thats a nice site wonder why it didnt come up in google.

cheers
chris

Yeah, I believe the 89 is 3rd gen (Wikipedia actually has that info down pretty well)

If I recall most guys do B series swaps in them due to the engine bay size - however they don't sell those mounting kits in mass amounts anymore.
