Sunroof !??

[se7ss]

where can u install a decent sunroof without anyleaks =) and lasts for ever on a civic 1997 hatch in akl and how much thanks

[DrTec]

umm... i wouldnt reccomend installing a sunroof in a car that didnt alread come with one, it will reduce the structural rigidity of the car.

Hang on.. go for it I got a Suroof for sale 1992 Prelude one. Motor and all Offers.. ahaha

(PS no idea where you would get it done..)

Sunroof = teh gay

More weight high up, less headroom and the potential to leak - I wish my Integra didn't come with one.

Hell yeah, my new DC2 with no sunroof has so much more headroom. I'll be able to wear a helmet now without bashing it on the rooflining all the time

Oh i spose a DA's sunroof since it slides under the roofline would make slightly less headroom.. but BB's and DCs slide over.

And leaking? anything with a rubber seal has that potential....
Now pillarless windows.. look t3h sh1z.. yet leak like a sieve.

Sunroof's are cool, but only if you really use it. I hardly use mine, and prefer my car didnt have one.. My opinion, dont bother having a sunroof installed and leave it till you get your next car. But its your call, if you really feel the need to have a sunroof put on your car, then do it. There's a dude on ozhonda.com with a red ausdm ITR who had a sunroof installed.. and it looks like a good job, you wouldnt think it was aftermarket. PPl were going on how he should've went for a VTiR instead, but its his R, his call... whatever makes you happy. :thumbsup:

Yer, most cars with sliding electirc sunroofs have the roof slide under the roof, I think DC/BBs are a bit of an exception.

Never had a leak, had my car 3 years now.

I'm 6'2" and race meremere with a helmet no worries. I think anything proper circuit/track racing might become a slight issue but meh.

Sunroofs ARE the shizz! Especoially for summer, cruising beaches(like the Mount, Akl has no real beaches) and when driving and weather nice it's almost always open! Doesn't make much wind noise either.

sunroof = sweeet

especially the way wellington has been over the last month generally... lots O sun. Mine has seen many a use.

I haven't had any problems with leaks with mine.

my sunny doesnt leak on my eg, not even a tiny bit of rust. The interior piece that you pull back does creak over bumps sometimes which is annoying but its great other than that

I love having a sunroof in a car, the factory ones that is. The only grip i have with Honda factory sunroofs is not many that i have seen tilt like the Mazda's and others did, well not the pre 90's ones like i can afford to have .


I wouldn't touch a car with a aftermarket sunroof, i have heard all sorts of dodgy things happening with them, drafty and don't seal properly, water leaks, rust out, etc.

Mine tilts AND slides. But I've only ever used it twice. It's more of a pain than anything else, since when I'm wearing a helemt I have to either recline my seat a notch or drive with my head tilted to one side.

[Locust2000]

Aftermarket sunroofs would come down to the attention & detail the installer put into it really. How many do you think are going to be REAL fussy when it comes to chopping a hole in your roof and triple checking everything to make sure it's perfect? Few and far between which is why after a while you'd get issues. Still, i'd imagine it's pretty expensive...next time you're looking for a car you've got a new requirement 8)

You drive with your helmit on alot then? I bet you have opened your sunroof more times than you have worn your helmet in the car.

Unless you are like my kids, put it on and sit in the seat or in the corner of the room in a carboard box pretending to be a race car driver. , come on, i bet the mrs has pics, post them up!

Yeah Sun roofs are cool especially on a DEL SOL '

yeah go the del sol
