That's a coupe sunroof assembly, won't fit. The roof curvature is completely different. Since your roof is so short and you already have an existing hole you'd have to put in a pop-up electric roof that slides up over, not in. There's no other way to do it.

did the factory make an electric sunroof for the hatch also? or did they just make it for the coupe?

Coupe only. The fastback got the failroof. Only thing its good for is taking it off and leaving it in the garage... like a halfassed targa.

Exactly. The fastback roof is actually better since it's larger, the coupe roof, although nice, is really small.

I really like the coupes. I'm considering selling my s14 or trading it in order to get a coupe with the silvia conversion.
