Hey guys,
My gf has had her EG civic for a couple of years now. The other day she told me her sunroof is not going back all the way - having a look at it I don't think it ever went back any further than it is. Looking even closer I cant see how it could possibly go back any further. Still she swares black and blue that it used to go back further. Whilst the car is an Australian model I dont think it would be any different to the USDM models (other than RHD of course!) so if someone could let me know if theirs is the same then it would greatly appreciated ... and I'd have some evidence to back me up too!!

Mike

ps. I hope the pics come out OK ... its my first attempt at posting pics.

Closed obviously!


Open as far as it will go ...


From the inside ...


With the cover pulled back as far as it will go.

 

thats as far back as mine goes

 

mine only goes back that far too... i wish it would go back more!

 

Yep..Thats as far as they go.
Yours isnt defective it's just like that stock.

 

my cousins ek sunroof goes all the way back, but i also believe his doesnt pop out like the eg does

 

i wish i had a sunroof

 

Yup.....Mine only goes back that far too.....I really wish it would go back farther

 

That looks OK. Why is your girl smelling her fingers?

I though stock hondas were defective?

 

yeah sunroofs that pop out of hte body only go back that far the ones that slide into the car open all the way

does anyone have a problem opening theirs? mine is kinda weird, if i push the switch to open it doesnt really do anything but make the noise (the motor) , i have to use my hand and push it up gently while pushing the button to open it before it actually opens, and same thing with close, i have to push it up and push close

Why? So you can have a slower, more top heavy car with a broken leaky roof?

 

My sunroof vibrates when it goes back. I'm guessing it needs lubed.

My cars a 96 and my black rubber sunroof lining is coming up and the sunroof is ******* rusting. So add that to the list.

 

yep mine is the same way...and hers is normal

 

try pushing up on it while pushing hte open button at the same time (and keeping your hand pushing up on it) and tell me if it still vibrates hard... mine use to vibrate now it wont even open unless i push up on it
im wondering if you have the same problem as me ...... i tryed lubing it along the rail but i dont know where else to, kuz its still doing it

 

tell her that she is a girl and she dosent know what the f#$% she is talking about and for her to shut up and be happy she has a sunroof!

I believe the difference is this:
A sunroof retracts into the roof(accords, 99-00 Si, etc). A moonroof retracts above the roof(92-95 civic Si).

lol..who cares how far the sunroof/moonroof rolls back. YOu should be more worried about how far her seats can roll back.

 

yea that is as far as my old Si went back

 

had an Ex with a sunroof and it was the same way! I LIKE MY DX without that heavy glass on my car!

 

yep thats about right
