I have just mentioned what I have been told. It seems to make sense to me, but I COULD very well be wrong.. The people in VA are idiots anyways.. But you also have a roof thats a foot or 2 longer than the civic hatch and isnt braced the same. My civic hatch had a flimsy roof on it.. and it had the B pillar bracing running accross the roof to support the roof..
What alot of you might not know about a wagon is that when you sit in it and drive it, your shoulders line right up with the b pillars....
So first off no B pillar support bars..
So in order to have a sun roof over your head, you would need to cut the B pillar bracing going accross the roof, that supports the roof and is very structural.
I would not do this.. at all... I guess you could move it forward if you had a tiny glass roof but even then that might comprimise the strength of the framing around the windsheild.
But it looks like they have a shorter glass panel in that wagon on Joeys post, and it looks pushed forward..
That looks promising but something thats installed by Honda is totally different than something installed by Jimbo thats got a 1970's chevy pick up with a holley double pumper elimiator carb with mud tires on it... I would say the quality is going to be a little different. and besides the crx si has different bracing in it going across the roof compared to you glass roof people.
You could be really cool and have one right over the back seats maybe???
But thats my reasoning and (their) reasoning for no sunroof in a wagon. Cutting the B-pillar support going accross the roof would be not good.. structurally weaking the vehicle, and causes a more than fun trampoline roof!!!
