I picked up a replacement sunroof glass for my 91 integra this weekend from "the best strip joint in Atlanta" for a mere $20. Being that the roof was closed I had to remove it from the inside.

While removing it appears that I may be able to replace from the outside by opening the roof a bit and removing (2) torx screws in the back and a couple of nuts in the front (that release the plastic clips that hold the glass in). Has anybody done this before? Does this sound like a reasonable approach?

Thanks for your help.

Just in case someone else has to do this I thought I'd update.

Removal of the original sunroof was a breeze, took about 5 minutes. With car running open the sunroof enough to get to the retaining clips in front. Remove plastic covers and remove nuts underneath. The clips will then slide out without too much difficulty. Then close the sunroof and remove two torx screws. Then the roof will lift out from the top.

Replacement took a bit more patience. Place the new sunroof in the opening and replace the (2) Torx screws. Carefully open the sunroof to expose the area where the retaining clips go. Then pry up on the rails while feeding the clips back into place, this may take several tries and a few choice words

Once the clips are in place I made sure that the rubber moldings were not crimped and then replaced the nuts and plastic covers. All in all it was done by a newbie in a couple hours.
