Plugging sunroof hole ?
« on: 13 September 2006, 16:41 »
My new gti has got a great big hole in the roof filled with some glass monster , anyone any ideas , maybe a bit of engineering and weld ina a plate (without buckling the roof) maybe motorsport plug it (plate and retro rivets) or just leave it where it is ? my dad deals with mgs so perhaps a full length afair ??? any ideas

they tilt and slide i think, you could just get a steel sunroof from the scrappy and fit that?

yes you will, but that will be attached to the sunroof you get from the breakers

measure it first though :wink: :grin:

depends it sounds like your sunroof is an aftermarket affair which means you wont be able to just fit an original sunroof. best bet is to get a photo up then we can see wat we are dealing with....
