Tips on installing sunroof

[hamburglar]

So I bought a sunroof and I plan on cutting the hole in my roof in the next day or so....

any tips? I'm assuming very straight forward?


my real question is:
For the roof liner on the inside of the car, what do you guys do to the edge? I know I will have to cut it out, but what do most people do with aftermarket installs?
i'm guessing get some weatherstrip kind of material and put around the cut edges of the roof liner.

Sealant. Don't cheap out on it either.

Yeah, straight forward. Cut, squeeze sealant, drop in the sunroof and install inner trim.

On Festiva sunroofs I have seen, there are small plastic clips that hold the headliner up to keep it from sagging. You could use any interior edge molding from any junkyard sunroof and simply cut it to length.

Depending on the year of your car....the roof liner is pretty solid and the inner edge of the sunroof covers it and does not need anything else done. Get a good silicon sealer for the roof seal.

Measure....measure....measure....you do not want to cut the hole to big for the sunroof. :nono:
Make sure you flip the sun visors down before you cut also....or you can ruin your MINT, NO TEARS, NO DIRT visors...don't ask me how I know...:cry_smile:
