I have an 84 model. It has a sunroof, which I think is aftermarket. They didn't come stock that way, right? It is the flip up style but the latch wore out and I can't use the sunroof.
What do you guys know/recommend for this situation? Is there just another direct replacement, or does anyone have a latch I could buy or know where I could get one?
Thanks
Ben

Okay, I give up.
I needed to know if the flip up sunroof came with any stock honda crx's at a minimum.

Good luck finding a non-cancered CRX. My flip-up roof didn't leak as far as I knew.

Many glas shops still sell hardware for sunroof.. just phone around you can prorably find the parts... not exact but close enough to work

I'll give it a try, but perhaps unlikely around here.

Ahaa.....
Check out what I found...
Only problem is the prices are steep. I may be better off taking the broken latch to a machine shop for a replica or other solution.

It would help if you had a pic of the latch. More than likely someone took one off an Si hatchie. Heck find one at a yard and get the latch off of it.
Honda, because it's hard to look baller in your mom's Volvo.
The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Good idea. I'll post a pic later tonight. The sunroof itself seems to be 15x30.5. It works fine though, just need a latch solution.

I've got the pop-up sunroof glass (tinted) and latch from a 1986 Civic 1500S(CDM). I will measure it tomorrow and see what I come up with.
