Title: Changing sunroof glass?
Post by: CDX_Steve on 20 December 2008, 20:39:47

My 02 2.6 CDX has a nasty corroded sunroof surround, the ally is rotting, I'm thinking of painting it, on the other hand would it be easier to just change it for a better one? Would one from a 96 elite fit? How much of a pain are they to change?
TIA :y

I changed the sunroof on my old Chavalier. Bit of a pain having to take out the entire roof lining but easy enough. hardest bit was trying to hold it up to get a couple of bolts on!
