In this video we go thru an overview of the 4th gen and 5th gen sunroof. We then modify the 4th gen sunroof brackets for the 5th gen sunroof glass to fit. We then install the 5th gen glass sunroof into our BB1 Prelude. Be sure to check the related videos below.

This is a great tutorial! I thought I knew "in theory" how to swap the sunroofs, but I didn't know as much as I thought I did. Now I know how it's actually done!

@TheDarkRican 4 года назад

Thanks for the kind words. I tried to make it as detailed as possible. Now get that sunroof swapped! :)

@ozankirsallioba 4 года назад

It has been a very useful work, man. The only issue I don't understand is why did Honda use the metal sunroof only in the 4th gen among all generation preludes? I definitely have to do this work.

@datshortgirraffe Год назад

Such a pro how to vid! Is there a way to get the glass to sit more flush to the roof when closed?

@angeliquemanuel393 2 месяца назад

Hi. Would it be possible to fit the 5th gen windscreen on the 4th gen.. Can't find a windscreen for my car

@skromee 7 месяцев назад

So 5th gen and 4th gen covers are the same no leaks? I have a 5th gen that i want to delete the sunroof for lightweight but i can only find a 4th gen plug.

I have a 94 prelude the my sunroof rusted bad we’re do I get the glas one from

@user-nk1cz4wq1g 25 дней назад

Thanks for this video. @10:14 How did you get your dash cluster lights so bright? Is that factory on your year? I have a '92 which I installed the tiny blue LEDs in the back of the cluster and they're still not nearly as bright as yours.

@TheDarkRican 14 дней назад

Since you have a 92, I'm assuming you are referring to the speedometer/tachometer cluster. The face-lift versions of the 4th gen Prelude came with the EL cluster. Found in 94-96 4th gens with at least the Si and Vtec trims. It glows bright and the needles also glow bright red. They are lit up by having these light tunes behind the new gauge plate. You can always upgrade your 92 analog gauges to an EL cluster. Just source the cluster with the silver inverter box and the full dash harness for your manual or automatic Prelude.

@putrabale1682 Год назад

Bro, I have prelude bb4 1996, but I get problem how to get the sunroof that needs to be replaced bcs the old one has been badly broken. If there is a place where to get or buy, let me know. I am quite far here in Aceh, Indonesia.

@thatslowlude 4 года назад

So i recently got the 5th gen sunroof assembly, but its there a way to keep slide to let light in when ever i want ?

@TheDarkRican 4 года назад

Requires alot more customization to the 5th gen sunroof assembly and the 4th gen headliner.

@djbing845 2 года назад

Question , my sunroof doesn't open so how am I going to be able to open it and take out those screws and get the liner off?

@TheDarkRican 2 года назад

Sorry for the late reply, you can manually crank it open. In the middle of the rear black plastic headliner, there's a circle piece that pops off. Use an Allen wrench to manually crank the sunroof open.

@piks3v3n 3 года назад

Thx for the very detailed video. I have just one question. Does the sunroof open with the glass roof?

@fibelow 3 года назад

15:25 if the bracket is popped into the slider there is no reason why it wouldn’t

@TheDarkRican 3 года назад

Yes the glass replaces the old metal roof and operates the same. 👍

@GreatYue 3 года назад

Why not use use W40 to loosen the rusted nuts? It's way easier. But your video is very good and informative.

@TheDarkRican 3 года назад

PB blaster/WD40 always a must but at times the nuts are so rusted and brittle that they just round out when trying to remove.

@pabloriel6612 3 года назад

What's up man, sorry for silly questions, but will the sunroof still function, will you be able to move it with the oem switch

@TheDarkRican 2 года назад

Yes it will function the same

@LatinoPrototype 2 года назад

Hey man! I was wondering if it’s ok to just use the 5th gen brackets on the 4th gen slider? They seem to fit, so I’m not sure if maybe we use the old brackets for another reason. Let me know! Awesome video

@LatinoPrototype 2 года назад

Tried it out myself! The 5th gen brackets make the sunroof sit up at a strange angle in the 4th gen, so the old brackets are definitely the move here!

@jamesstewart1794 Год назад

Use shims

@jasonumanzor9428 3 года назад

Is it complicated to remove the glass from the assembly for the fifth gen?

@TheDarkRican 3 года назад

Yes not at all hard. Just the glass and not removing the whole assembly that is.

@72langsky 4 года назад

Looks good! Great video! What are the pros and cons of having a glass sunroof? Like does the glass crack or leak?

@TheDarkRican 4 года назад

Stock metal rusts at the seals and will eventually leak. Looks terrible and a real pain to then remove. The glass is a great replacement, looks great and does not leak.

@72langsky 3 года назад

@@TheDarkRican hey I finally did it today! There’s a step I didn’t see in the video: cut or shave off the two metal tabs on the 5th gen sunroof! But overall, this video helped so much, keep it up bro!

@TheDarkRican 3 года назад

Glad you were able to use the video to get the conversion done. I recorded the part with the metal tabs to cut but it was missing in this video. I have a prep video with that part in there that is in the links below and at the end of this video. Im sure you love how it came out on your lude!
