Sunroof Replacement for Subaru WRX / STI 2002-2007
If you drive a 2002 to 2007 Subaru WRX or STI, you know these GD-chassis cars are built to take a beating. But after almost two decades of hard driving, the factory sunroof glass is usually showing its age. Whether a stray rock cracked the panel or the track mechanism finally bound up and shattered the glass, driving around with a busted moonroof is a headache you just don't need. I've worked on enough of these early 2000s Subarus to know exactly how to pull that old assembly out and drop a fresh piece of glass in right the first time.

How We Replace Your WRX / STI Sunroof
Swapping the glass on these older Subarus takes a bit of patience. The weather seals get stiff over the years, and the tracks fill up with old grease and dirt. I don't cut corners when I'm working on your roof.
Our Step-By-Step Process
- Interior Protection: The first thing I do is lay down heavy drop cloths over your front seats, shifter, and center console. Shattered tempered glass gets everywhere, and I make sure your interior stays completely clean before I even touch a tool.
- Glass Removal: I carefully back out the hardware holding the glass panel to the track mechanism. If the glass is broken, I vacuum out every single shard from the sunroof cassette so the tracks don't grind and bind up later.
- Surface Cleaning: I strip away the old, degraded rubber seals and scrape the mounting points clean. Any leftover grime or old glue will ruin the fitment of the new panel.
- Primer and Adhesive Installation: I lay down a specialized auto glass primer to prep the surface, followed by a thick bead of high-quality urethane adhesive. This guarantees the new panel bonds securely and seals up tight against the weather stripping so you don't get a lap full of water the next time it rains.
- Calibration and Testing: Once the new glass is bolted in, I run the sunroof back and forth a few times. I adjust the mounting shims so the glass sits perfectly flush with your roofline to prevent annoying wind noise at highway speeds.
