urgent help sunroof part rusted
« on: 18 March 2012, 12:14 »
hey all

Was in the middle or removing the sunroof seal cuz it was leaking to find a black bit of metal that has 7 screws in it has rusted through on the corner so it kinda explains the leak. does anyone know the part im on about and where i can find one? ill try and upload pics soon as possible but got a few other jobs i gotta do to it aswell lol. Its not the wind deflector its the bit at the back of the sunroof tht needs removing to take the seal off.

Arron

Nope that's all the runners. It's the opposite end to that.

crikey! i think i can safely say your probably looking at a whole unit as i'd bet my left nut on that part not being stocked new by anybody. i did see a tornado red unit on ebay for i think around £30-35. I'd check all the drains around the sunroof too dude as it must have been constantly in water to get that bad surely!
