Truck Driver Destroys Moonroof Glass with Rock, IS there a how-to replace guide?
Here it is:  Anyways, is there a how to on replacing it? The motor was working up until the point it smashed, I haven't opened it yet because there is a huge hole in the glass and it is sticking up at the impact point, so I don't want to fuck with it. EDIT: I should note, the hole is now gone, as the whole glass shattered. I tried the search function, couldn't find much.

I should also note that insurance is out of the question as it is a comprehensive claim and my deductible is high, so I think it would be ultimately cheaper to do it myself.

That's tempered glass, get some duct tape or other sticky material to hold together the remain of the sunroof. If you put it on top have somebody underneath to hold the glass where you are pressing. If you don't get something to hold the tiny bits of glass together keep the sunshade close. And don't try opening the moonroof or else the rest of the glass will come down on you.

That picture was taken approximately 2 minutes after the accident happened. Unfortunately, the hole got bigger and the glass shattered completely. I can't open the lid from the inside becuase the glass is blocking it from opening. I need to tape it up with a plastic tarp or something for now because it it supposed to rain in 2 fucking days (52 day drought and now the fucking rain wants to come!
 ) I just need to find a way to replace this.

It's easy to replace the grass. Just get one from a junkyard and replace it.
You can remove the rubber accordion seal on each side and you will see the bolts. Pull carefully from the bottom, the accordion rubber seal stays with the glass. In your case I would get rid of the broken glass and then remove the bolts. When you have the glass it shouldn't take you more than an hour.
