So I had to buy a new sunroof since the old one blew off of my car. With that in mind I went to the junkyard. I checked their list before I went in and the sunroof cost $30.00. So in I went. I pulled one sunroof but then took some more time to look around. I found an old integra with a stock equalizer for the stereo still in it. So I pulled that. Then I found an accord with a sunroof and a sunroof wind deflector, and when I got in, it had the same color interior as I needed to replace the slider deal which also broke when my sunroof took flight.
So I pulled that sunroof(the seals were in better condition) and then I took the wind deflector (it's original HONDA product) and the interior sunroof slider piece. All were in really good condition.
When I got back out of said car, I noticed that it had the tinted window trim pieces. I pulled all 4 of them. They were original HONDA products as well. Then I went to find out what all this stuff would cost me.
The lady at the register looked at it all and I told her what all the stuff was. She couldn't find it in the price list so she asked another guy what she should do. He couldn't find it in the price list either so he said, "Uhh, $35 takes all." So I gave him $35 bucks for it all.
Now if we remember, the sunroof alone was $30. That means that for $5 I got:
- Stock Acura Equalizer
- HONDA sunroof wind deflector
- Interior trim slider
- HONDA window tinted trim pieces (4)
I was pretty damn happy with my purchase.
Here's a couple of pics of the stuff.
