So i attempted to fix my sunroof though I had been warned and my results ended up being numerous trim clips broken, dirty interior, dented roof, oh and my sunroof still doesn't work.

Did you follow the directions outlined here?

Or was there something else wrong with it?

those little clips suck, they are so old and brittle.

If you need and sunroof parts let me know I had to go through 3 sunroofs before I got one working one.

I trusted a guy i just meet and he put three dents on my roof with a screwdriver.

I tried to use this site: http://howto.globalvicinity.com/gv_w...=288&co=1&vi=1

I started breaking so many clips and I was trying to take out the rails to try and clean them but the bolts where a bitch so i just said f it and put everything back together and superglued the cracks.

Getting the motor out required more of the headliner to come off and my interior looked perfect until that point so I hope you can understand why I gave up.

I got a supposed working sunroof went to put it in and no dice. So i figured "I'll just leave it out a day or two until I can fix one".

At the time it was my daily driver, and yeah the next day it rained during my entire drive to school. Kinda sucked.

I used to have a 98 civic that I hated to hell and I used to drive with my sunroof down when it was raining because it was relaxing. I'd recommend buying a civic to do just that.

The water coming in wasn't the problem so much as the pressure differential causing a horrible noise.

Then when I stopped I had to cover it with a tarp, which leaked like a bastard and left me with a wet seat.

Wasn't me! I swear to hell it was not me!!!

Old parts break, nuts and bolts get rusty... and I would have stabbed the guy with the screwdriver after he put dents in my roof.
