Thinking about getting a moon roof
A local shop is advertising specials on moon roofs for sedans. Been thinking alot about it. Those of you with sun or moon roofs in your Elantra, how do you like it?

number one question to ask: if they do the work is the sunroof guaranteed not to leak or malfunction for life? i wouldnt get an aftermarket sunroof put in without a lifetime warranty on it.

I would be skeptical at best, you'd definitely want a kit designed for your specific car, rather than a fits-all-fits-none universal job.
In other news, what's the best way to repair a rusty sunroof sealing surface?

Just like rusty anything else:
Light rust: sand, prime, repaint, use new seals
Heavy rust: cut out, weld in fresh, then follow steps for light rust, above

In my opinion, no matter how cheap, even if it's free, don't do it. It'll more than likely not be done right, and WILL leak.
