prelude2005 · 05-05-2002, 05:40 PM

Of of the NTPOG guys checked before. Dimensions were different.

I really dont think there are too many 5th gen parts that just bolt onto the 4th gen model. . .especially body panels.

Thanks for the help guys. I dunno, my 4th gen sunroof has some rust holes, small ones, my shop sais to get a new one. I am trying to find a glass one but no luck.

Prelude2War · 05-05-2002, 11:51 PM

They are VERY tough to find and cost about $400!! I have seen 2 or 3 on Ebay over the last year or so, but thats all. The guy selling them was from www.sunroofdoctor.com, you might try emailing him about availibility.

I purchased the glass sunroof kit from sunroofdoctor, He told me that it was the last one. I'm not sure though. He might have said that just to sell it quick. I paid 380 with shipping. Sorry if I got the last one....

got any pics?

phatfarm · 05-06-2002, 09:24 PM

No way in HELL i am paying 375+shipping in AMERICAN Dollars for a Glass sunroof,. That is just insane!!!!!!!!!!

I can get a used 4th gen sunroof assembly for like 175 dollars Canadian.

So the glass is out of the question. Thanks for the help.

They cost that much because they are rare as hell. .

Well I would take some pics but its all masked off, because I'm painting my car. I really like the way it looks. The only draw back is there is no sun shade to slide forward. Fortunately they tinted the glass pretty dark. I really havn't had much time to drive around with it with my paint job. Once shes done I plan to post pics of the whole car, I will try and remember to get a closeup of my sunroof.

Guy im in canada. Our money is worth nothing. I feel like I live in Mexico or something. With the exchange rate + duty costs + shipping costs + taxes at the border + brokerage fee's, I feel like I am being raped by the Canadian border

Ahh well., I had a GlassRoof in my 2nd gen and I hated it personally. But this 4th gen roof is rusting and it seems to be a common problem. so I thats why I decided to go with Glass. I personally do not like glass sunroofs. . Guess I gonna search for a good 4th gen roof thats metal and in good shape.
