I dont have a sunroof/moonroof installed on my RMS13. Is it possible to get one installed? Where can I get the parts and how much might it cost me?

Yay for Chassis Flex! :loco:
Not really worth it in my opinion, but you should be able to find the parts on Google. As far as cost goes, talk to a local body shop. Labor costs vary from place to place. If you are looking for OEM parts, then a scrap yard should be your first stop.

1. You don't have a RPS13. I have an RPS13 because I'm in Japan. You have an RMS13 or an RHS13.
2. Please don't cut up a perfectly good roof. There are tons of sunroof-equipped cars you'd be better off with.
3. Yes it is possible and will cost you $500-2k. Where to get it done is up to you to find out and decide.

I HATE my sunroof. My wife loves it, though, so that's kind of good.
But, it lowers the roof interior about an inch or more. The seals get dry and crack and then leak. The molding comes loose easily.
:( But, hey, the wife loves it, so what can I say? :D

Don't do it!
I hate mine. It whistles every time I hit ~75mph. Annoying as hell but kinda keeps me from speeding. The chassis feels more ricketty than my old non-moonroof base 90 hatch too.

You can adjust the moon roof a little bit.
I have all new weather strippings for mine, I just need to get off my lazy ass and actually change it out one of these days.

Nissan dealership.
I think I ordered new stripping from Courtesy Nissan in Texas.
I ordered new strippings for the doors and the sunroof, and had been too lazy to put them on ever since I've gotten them forever ago lol
What I really need is the rear hatch one, that one's toast, but that one's also like $160. Argh is right...

i think it would better for you to find a car w/ a sun roof and then swap all your stuff into it and then sell your current car

Don't ruin a hardtop, or we'll all hate you.

I fucking MISS my sunroof on my old coupe. MISS IT TO DEATH. :cry:
coupes hold heat so 'well' that it gets too warm with a hardtop
