Where is the best place to order a sunroof seal on line?

[GTIDamo]

Hi guys after some investigation it appears that my sunroof leak is due to several reasons:

1)Glass put back in incorrectly meaning drainage holes not working effectively and
2)Split in the sunroof seal at the front so water collecting in centre and dripping into car as there is no path for the water to get to the drainage tubes. So I need a new seal. Where is the best place to buy one online for a 1996 mk3 gti please?

cheers

give eurocarparts or gsf a call....otherwise its back to mr vw stealer

That might be VW main dealer only.

dealer, sure its around 30 quid, cant check/get part number till i get to my computer

these are on ebay approx 40.00

Dealer charges 40+ - I know, I checked a week back!

eBay do them for around 30!

My leake was sorted by flushing out the drainage holes and pulling the seal tighter together! Failing that, put some silicon sealant on it mate!

have you thought about vaseline!!  :embarassed:


If rubber dries you can rescue it by using the said stuff.....it softens things up nicely!! making them (rubber etc) more strechy and I have used it to cure noisy door seals etc over the years and have had some good results

boney is absolutly bang on here, you are supposed to frequently vasaline the seals, i do every couple of mopnth or so, i have done on all my cars, stops them from drying out
