sunroof eg

[honda_zivic]

is there any chance of taking vti sunroof from a eg and put it in gli?
like is there a way of removing the roof panels?


i been quoted 1200 to fit after market roof, tilt n slide.
but i rather have genuine roof.

[RobEG]

wow i was quoted $1800 for an electronic tilt n slide, i ended up with a pop top for $700

[crobaa]

i was actually thinking about this this morning. robeg is that price inc installation? i wonder how hard it would be to install diy and the average price for a used vti one

[RobEG]

@ crobaa - yeah the $700 was supply and fit. i managed to get it while on special the price right now is $900. i am in adelaide though. the place i went to was http://www.roofracksa.com.au/

I'm guessing its not as simple as cutting the hole, screwing the roof in and siliconing/wiring it up? I wonder if the roof is recessed around the edges of the factory hole so it sits flush?

[honda_zivic]

wiring is easy. cutting it is a tuf job. 1 mistake GL, u pretty much left with a fukd up car.

[crobaa]

i reckon i'd be able to cut a good hole, especially if i got the roof from a wreckers and was able to make perfect measurements and even make a template. Would need to use a small blade on a dremmel or something to be super precise.

[honda_zivic]

if u gonna do it, get a sheet metal from bunnings and trial fit it.

Yeah my mate got one put on his Breeze (now a top/bottom built B20VTEC still with drums lols).

Not an easy DIY job. Pity because the sunroof is really nice IMO I love mine in the night time :D

[honda_zivic]

yea the 1 i got quoted is a webasto brand http://www.webasto.com.au/products-and-markets/car/ena/html/8215.html

shop said was biggest 1 that could fit eg hatches. the factory eg roof is like macas tray. and omfg s15 roof is even worse.

[dougie_504]

Good thing about the VTi sunroof is that it slides open into the roof, rather than on top of it.


Can you buy a VTi and just swap your parts over? lol

[honda_zivic]

vti sedan roof slide in side the roof trim. vti hatches slides outside the roof panel like the link.



i wana do it bad, but dont know how im gonna do it, is the roof panel removable? if so im in luck.
nothing a angle grider wont do.haha


my civic feels left out, even my lude has a roof. and fuk me its mammoth that thing. feels like a drop top.

[dougie_504]

Pretty sure you have to cut

[Player_Hater]

u can have your roof un stitched, if you can find a wreckers which have a shell with the sunroof still intact cut the whole roof section and have a decent trusted panel beater un stitch from the weld points. then simply swap the whole roof over and re stitch

[honda_zivic]

have u done it b4?
im just worried it mite turn into ass results. since melb panel peater r shit and most likely wont take on that job.
