CRX Sunroof MOD?

[Celtic112685]

This may seem kind of stupid or pointless to you guys but i kinda think it's cool. I have a 91 CRX with a manual fliptop sunroof. I want to know if anyone has ever seen or attempted to make theirs a removable sunroof, kind of like how there used to be like T-Tops on old american cars that could be removed. Because it's too expensive to convert to power sunroof, so I'd like to have the whole hole and not just a 2 inch gap where air comes in. Please help or advise

cut a hole in ur roof

cut an appropriate piece of metal to fit in it, or glass, or whatever

fabricate some fasteners

in a weekend you have more than enough time

i'm not kidding... serious mods require serious fabrication... and if that scares you, you have no buisiness doing the mods urself

to create a removable sunroof where there wasnt one, it requires cutting

But didnt you read? there's already a fliptop sunroof there, so there's already a hole

alright, see, the way i read this, he wants a bigger removable panel in his roof=cutting


oh, nevermind...


just curious, what would you suggest, mr. noob?

I'm the one that wrote the thread, I'm the one looking for suggestions, and no, I dont needa bigger hole, I just want there to be a hole, like how on a power sunroof you can have it slide all the way back leaving a big hole

[ajr2007]

what i would do if i were you is see how it hingers, you might be able to make removable pins that go in the hinge to make it removable

in that case, i would suggest just fabbing a new cover (or keep the old one, it doesnt really matter) and just fab new mounts

hmm, lets see some pics of the factory one
