Default Has anyone installed a sunroof?

I was thinking about installing a sun roof on my car. On ebay they are about tops $50 shipped. Has anyone ever done this? Is it difficult job to do?
Thanks for any advice

I wouldnt i have heard they start leaking after about a year, if you have a shop do you should get a warranty, if they even do that. good luck

I agree that they're no good. There are places that will do it, but I just don't think I'd do it. A sunroof is kinda nice, but it'd be better to leave a car stock.

If you want a sunroof you should get a car that was built for it.

My buddy put a aftermarket one in his honda civic DX. A aftermarket one, who ever installed those ones that are leaking must not know what they are doing. This was his first and it never leaked a drop. Later on in the winter we are installing a 00 civic ex sunroof into my 97 cx.

Yea, I guess it's not a smart idea to put on in. I just thought it would look good .
