    TO GET THEM TO FULLSIZE((( you should be able to read it clearly))) IF YOU DONT ALREADY THEN PUT MOUSE OVER PICTURE AND CLICK THE BOX THAT APPEARS IN THE BOTOM RIGHT CORNER!!!!1 WELL thats what i got to do at least....if it doesnt work let me know.


    I followed most of it but i didnt remove the interior stuuf..but it got cut perfectly witht the jigsaw i used...

    I used a jigsaw with a metal blade...works very good...other than that...use your judgment when doing this...once you drill the first hole theres no turning back!!

    Its not bad just measure and re-measure b4 you cut and i laid down masking tape to draw the border and it was fine still no leaks. The only negative i had is that mine is electric and it only opens about half way. But still i like the look of it better than the pop up roofs. It looks as close to factory as you can get.

    Good setup is the key to the instalation. I have been Installing them in my own cars for 15 years and even a few for freinds.

    The one ib my civic.

    Yeah that is how mine opens only halfway. The only difference is mine does not have any tabs on the glass it is a smooth sheet of glass with no fasteners showing on the top....I think my hardest part was the damn headligner because the visors were in the way...

    i know this is slightly off topic but..

    someone was talking about their ASC sunroof... and how they had that mystery position on the switch.. well they found out it was an auto close for when you turn the car off right?

    Well, how the hell does that work? I mean, is there a timer in that circuit, or does the roof hit a switch? I know how to do the rest of it, but the part of knowing when to stop it is the only part i have difficulty understanding.

    Enlighten me please.. I have plans..

    I would be worried about leaks and rust. So seal it carefully.
