Title: sunroof problem
Post by: Steve_B on 23 May 2010, 12:58

Hi

Had some issues with the sunroof being a bit sticky yesterday. Seem to have sorted that out but now it doesn't look like its sealing properly

The front looks fine but there is a gap at the back. Have done some searching and in the how to section it mentions that the height of the front and back can be adjusted, so I'm thinking it's either that or the seal needs replacing.

Has anyone had this before? Just wanted peoples opinions before i started taking the sunroof apart.

Take the inner skin off and adjust the bolts that hold the roof to the car accordingly.

The seal is about £45 nowadays from eBay and IIRC discontinued by VW.

My mate has that on his, and it's sound! General aftermarket on a roll type stuff.. for bodyshops and places like the Sunroof Centre local to me..
