Default 91 civic sunroof

Has anyone ever tried to fit the 91 civic sunroof onto a crx? I was wondering about this because the civic's sunroof is glass isn't it?

Glass doesn't rust, and can't you just tint the glass?

If you look at them, you'll notice that the Civic glass sunroof is of a different design shape than the CRX. I also think it uses different mounting points, and it looks smaller. Sorry... I was looking at one yesterday in the junkyard, thinking the same thing.

??? How would that work...?

Tint is just a thin plastic film glued to the glass... I mean, REALLY thin...

The hb sunroof is a diff shape than the crx, the crx shape is more dome shaped since it has that huge glass in the hatch, the hb roof is longer and is therefore less dome shaped and more flat.

the heat that the tint causes it to reflect makes it warp

The only way to get a glass roof on a CRX is to get a custom one made for it. The CRX roof comes out because of the sapce it has between it and the rear window. Also it does have a bend in it so the HB roof won't fit on it. The HB one goes inside the body.
