    I spose its possible, but cars equipped with factory sun roofs have additional support. If you just cut out a hole you're going to loose some roof rigidity and that probably be unsafe and unwise to do.

      there are professional shops that will do the work but you would have to scout out the oem parts if you so decide to go with that -junkyard. or you can go with the aftermarket sunroofs that are manual pop-ups but im sure there are electronic sunroofs but those would cost you more.

      i wouldnt understand how the roof would be less rigid if you completely swap it over with oem parts. or how unsafe it would be?? cuz im thinking convertibles have no top, so how unsafe is that?

          drag-

          Hardtop cars and sunroof/convertible cars are built completely different, conv. cars have a rigid frame and alot of supports designed into them, same with sunroofs and t-top cars. You could do it but I would suggest looking for an EX that already has one. You just asking for leaks and other problems swapping one in. Sorry to rain on your parade I just wanted to give some advice, remember its your car and you decide how to build it.

            besides all the stuff mentioned at the top, cars with factory sunroofs have a little lip that goes all the way around made when they stamped out the roof. it would be possible to recreate it, but you would have to be a really good metal fabricator. and as for aftermarket sunroofs, i've never seen one that looked half decent or didn't leak.

              The EX (what I drive) has a frame support running the width of the roof of the car before and after the sunroof.

              FYI: The 'sunroofs' that pop-up but don't slide in or out of the way are called 'moon-roofs', since they don't have direct access to the outdoors like a 'sunroof' does. 'Moon-roofs' are fairly inexpensive, the installation cost is what brings the cost above $150-200.

              An aftermarket 'sunroof' will cost you a good $200-300 + installation, if you want one that doesn't leak and offers OEM-like interfacing.

                      Is there any way to make a "sunroof" flip out as a "moonroof"? Any DIYs?

                        I think you would need to swap the 6th gen accord's sunroof if you want the tilt feature, but the flipping out..... like the acura integra's? like how it goes over the top when it opens?
