need used parts for 1987 honda prelude
 

In particular, i need:

the headlight/sunroof open and close switch. my switch is broken but
my sunroof otherwise works fine.

I might also eventually want some windows. the previous owner
(jackass) put that stupid window film on the inside and i want it gone.

Maybe not what you want to hear, but the film is removed with ammonia - the
stronger the better. Auto glass shops can remove it for a fee that seems
more reasonable after you try it yourself <8^P
Removing it from the inside of the rear window is trickiest - few shops will
guarantee the defroster will work afterward, although the odds seem pretty
good.

(If you want to get rid of the film, I bet you aren't in Phoenix!)

you are the man, MP.

any ideas about the sunroof button? sadly, it appears to be built
together with the headlight button and is soldered to a multi-wire
connector.

as for the film, thanks for the tip! i live in los angeles which is
close. the stuff is just so heinous. i can't even see through it. i
was considering acetone. ammonia? are you sure?

Haven't done it myself, but that is what I was told by the glass shop that
redid the film in my wife's Volvo. I imagine it starts with painting a
little around the top and maybe side edges, then working down as the film
peels away... but that's just a guess.

Re: need used parts for 1987 honda prelude
 

I did some googling on it...you can use ammonia, simple green, or
de-ice. you put on the solvent and heat it (either with sun or heat
gun) and peel. the point is to peel both layers at once and
melt/dissolve the glue.


But what about used honda parts....any ideas on that, boss?
