Sunroof

Sean · September 28, 2004, 12:56:50 PM

My sunroof seems to be sticking on the one side, it\'s as though there is a latch on the offside that won\'t release, and so stops that side from opening.

You end up with a wonky sunroof that wont open fully!

I\'ve just had a quick look at how to remove the roof panel, but it seems that I have to remove the whole roof lining to get to a panel on the inside of the car that is the size of the entire roof panel!!

Is this right? Seems like a very big job!

If anyone has already done this, I would gladly accept their input before it starts to rain:(

Cheers,
Sean:wave

I had to change the sunroof on my EGi, and yes getting at it is a complete bitch. Having said that the roof lining does come out fairly easily and we got my whole roof out and swapped over/realigned in about 2hours.
Is your roof still sealing when its down? If so I\'d leave it until next year when you\'ve got a patch of rain free weather...

Too late I\'m afraid, I\'ve just ripped out the rubber seal!

Now I can\'t get it back on until the roof is working again, D\'oh!

But I have noticed that something that looks like a spring slides on one side of the roof, but it stays still on the broken side. I assume this is my problem!

Does this help?

you are lethal matey

thats why i dont fancy taking the panel out of mine just yet - its supposed to be a really bad job to do

You\'d be better off buying a complete 2nd hand sunroof (whole thing including motor etc) and doing a swap (stu).
