      I'd find a small manual sunroof in a 'yard (Festiva, Metro, Aspire, 323, etc.) and take it apart right there to see how it was installed. Might want to check for any sign of leaks as you're "studying" it. If it seems easy enough, buy the sunroof and do it yourself. Save a ton of $$$!

      Just use lots of silicone sealant (or whatever works best) upon installation. Original rubber seals may be old and dry. Maybe check with a sunroof place to see if you can order a new rubber seal, which might be worth it.

          Is that just the price of install? Do you have the sunroof already?

                That doesn't seem like too bad of a deal. Wish I had known you wanted a sunroof, I've got one I would have sold ya!

                    Is this a powered sunroof? If so, I'd say go for it. If it's manual, grab one from the junkyard and you can figure out how to install it as you're taking it out.


                    I'm sure you can think of some bad things your Festiva has done to you so you don't feel guilty cutting a hole in it's roof.

                    Oh wait, Festivas don't do that kind of thing.
