electric sunroof swap to manual???
« on: 19 May 2012, 20:29 »
right Ive got a completely weird sunroof issue, it opens slightly using buttons but not all the way and it will never shut itself properly unless you do it manually. i have replaced control button(twice), motor (twice) and still no look so was wondering if its possible to put a manual twisty arm thing ion so it actually works properly??

Are the rails broken or seized up? Pretty common on mk3's

You'll need a new sunroof set up.

PM me if you want one, the runners will be siezing up and probably plastic bushes snapped. ;)

Is it definitely rails or bushes though as it opens manually perfect.....
