hey hey , a tree fell on my damed car, went thru the sunroff in a 1990 accord ex, is this a hard replace ment? thanks!

 

no hard at all, infact you can diy it..how the rail and the roof?

 

ok i can get the glass for 100, everything else is perfect, a branch pierced the sunroof glass like a sword, nothign else damaged, just the glass, so do you have a link to a DIY text? or is there a book at borders taht woudl have it thanks!

 

I've never seen an Accord sunroof up close, but here are a few ideas:

I assume that you are picking it up from a dealership. Ask them politely for a copy of the installation instructions (they have instructions for everything on the car, from the shop manual I suppose). Offer to pay $3 or $5 for their time to copy it.

The Haynes manual or Chiltons manual might have the instructions.

Other than that, when you get the new glass, take a look at it and the existing frame, it might be obvious how it goes together.

 

It was real easy on mine, and probably the same on yours I would imagine. Just take the 2 black plastic covers off from inside (2 screws on each side, each under a little pop-out screw cover, and the covers fall right off), then the glass is bolted to the track/sliders at each of the 4 corners, with (2) 10mm nuts at each corner. Then it just pops out the top. Don't lose the little shims that are in there, and remember which one(s) go where! Otherwise you'll have leaks and/or alot of wind noise.

Again this was on mine, so it may be a bit different on yours.

i gotta do mine on my 91 accord i bought the POS stripped and some kid was throwing marbles around it and cracked the one thing that was perfect on my car needless to say i was pissed

i already got another one but i just dont know how to install it a detailed instruction would be appreciated ... do you gotta pull the headliner and all out ???


i was at pick a part today and i saw one there i bet they only want like 20-30 for it .

 

750 dollars!

 

$750 for the glass?

Stop by a few stores that install sunroofs, see what they can do. Also, you might stop by a glass shop.

 

for everything

 

i think i will just take it apart my self and figure it out it cant be that difficult at the same time i will recover my headliner
