I am wondering if it can be done i got a 88 std hatch looking to do it myself i got a 94 ex sunroof to put in wondering if it leaks or anything bad?

 

it can be done if it fits exactly like the factory roof,or else you may have to do some modifications..someone else could probably help you more

 

thx for your help i hope it can be done i allready had to put a cigarette lighter in my std hatch and d16z6 swap so after this sunroof ill be as close as si am im getting . LOL

 

why not get an aftermarket power moonroof?

 

are you paying for it???? I allready got a 94 ex 1 i dont have money for a AfterMarket power one. And whats the difference 1 is just as good as the other .

the aftermarket power one will most likely be cheaper installed then the labor to do the **** you wanna do

 

or the fact that it'll be cheaper to do it himself instead of paying someone to do it. Honda-tech recently seems so afraid of a little customizing work. As long as you have a little skill you can do it no problem.

DIU i know you WANT to do it yourself, but its not a simple process, espeically when you are talking using an OEM honda one from a car thats not of your year, your headliner may not even have the provisions to fit the motor assy and what not under it, it would be easier to either A get a CRX roof panel and somehow custom it onto your car, or do what i said and get an aftermarket unit. asshat

No its not a simple process, but its also not as hard as you think. It'll take a decent welder, and possibly a little fabric work to make a new headliner. Definetly not rocket science.

You can use this as a reference for the headliner.....not the exact same process but you can get the idea.

I'll give you that one. lol, but honestly if he was asking how to do it, it seems like he's trying to figure out if its beyond his skill. So instead of encouraging him to go another way, tell him how you think it would go (or how it would go if you've done it like the question says) and he could decide from there.

My 89wagon has an aftermarket one in it, the roof makes funny noises on the freeway over 110km.
