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?

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....
