    Default Sunroof Question

    ok my CRX has a sunroof. I dont think its factory because its a DX. So i took a few pics of what i have to work with. I just got the car 2 weeks ago and the sunroof was just siliconed in. So any ideas of how i can make it removable?

    Its going to be difficult to get it to seal properly so that it doesn't leak. Thats always a problem with aftermarket sunroofs.

    there are sunroof specialists that you can take it too. They are going to be a little pricey but at least it'll be perfect.
