Sunroof installation - ?
Hello,
I did my research, I used the search button, but i dint find anything.
I have 04 RX8 without sunroof, there is a local auto wreaking shop near my place that sells a whole sunroof assembly, the whole roof and the headliner from a parted 05 RX8. I want to try to install it to my 04'.
Does changing the roof (mechanical & electronics) will cause me a lot of headache, and does it require to pay a professional to do this?
Below is the only information that i got;
Any input will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

yeah sunroofs take away headroom not add to it and plus idk if any shops would be able to add the sunroof without damaging anything, if you look closely at your roof line its curved so if you wash the car you notice it more b/c the water puddles in the middle, so they may ruin the aero tryna add a sunroof, but i came across some 09's for 20 and they had a sunroof, and fog lights is it too late to take your back
Any input will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Cutting the roof to install a sunroof will compromise the structural integrity of the car. The braces going across the roof are different when the car is not equipped with a stock sunroof, and cutting them will mess up the car.
You would have to replace the whole roof with the one coming from the donor car. Don't remember anyone posting who did that.
