@@GarageBuiltHondas no problem brotha. Honestly just sitting in the sun makes the micro scratches disappear but yeah just introducing heat causes it to self heal, same as most vinyls.

I did something similar, but used my oem roof. Also added wingnuts so 4 takes it off on nice days.

Yes, this is what I imagined

Great job man came out sick looking And that seal around it is like a cherry on top

His final choice is exactly how I will be doing mine, just as soon as my 770-NC mold release shows up so I can make my carbon fiber delete sheet.

I probably would not have sealed it in but rather either used an oem sunroof cassette or simplified thin plastic tray for drainage into the oem channels. That way it is not only functional in keeping you dry buy also still open for a full sunroof restoration. Just keep a look out for parts to fully restore the sunroof to operational condition. Full sunroof parts are not as common but does happen often enough to not be considered impossible or wishful thinking. Great job anyways and another win for the community as an option for the sunroof dilema.

I want every last ounce of weight removed from this car. The options you mentioned would be good for someone with a car that's a lot cleaner too. Mines rough, and just a fun track car.

A very timely video for me!!! Thank You Jon!!!

Great video came out great looks oem im definitely going to do this you know Y&S sales scratch proof lexan.... I seen another video the guy removed the oem glass off & just used that with the oem Seal i think if not maybe it was aftermarket one but i like this way better so much lighter

Yes, they do but not in black. And I didn't want sunlight hitting me. It's so darn hot here already.

I would get a sheet re made and keep it factory re work the motor that pulls the heat out so well. Run window heat always the heat out the top the good air circulation around you with it closed cabin temps rise more than 26degrees your weight in degrees of wear on the motor in heat exchange against your oil that now gets hotter still because of lexan cools your motor less.

Hey brother I was looking on KZread for DIY video on how to delete my sunroof on my 05 civic ex and I'm seeing that everybody used aluminum, but you used Lexan glass instead I was wondering if you could tell me the thickness of the glass so I can do mine, please.

Spicy !!😮

do you wind it warps at all during use? Any up and down variance? And is the sealant removable - I would wan the option of putting my sunroof back in down the road potentially

So i need help. Does anyone know the part number for an s40 transmission axle seals ?

Do you have a link to the seal? God I wanna remove my sunroof too but I wanna keep it so it’s reversible in future. This looks the best by far. Sick of my helmet hitting the pillar when I look left lol

I do not. Google search it. You may find some documents for it online.

Great job! Will the steel lip that is perpendicular to the roof be an issue for the track? I know you’re wearing a helmet so that’ll be good, but perhaps it could take a slice out of it during a roll over…More of an issue for a street vehicle where the Noggin’ ain’t covered…thoughts?

Steel? isn't it aluminum he can add the leftover rubber trim around it but the oem sunroof is a lot bigger & it wasn't a problem before he should have a lot more room now
