i think thats an aftermarket one, as factory fitted are mainly slide back and the panel isn`t glass it`s metal and the same colour as the car

standard ones are metal and slide into the roof, what you have there is an aftermarket one!

Be very carefull with aftermarket sunroofs, anything gets broken and youll have to repair it! because you almost certainly wont get spare parts

i thought it was leaking as the material which covers the screw holes was rotten and comming apart, so i ripped the rest off, also i managened to fcuk up the glass. the sun roof will have to come off when the car gets sprayed, is it worth me putting it back in with used seals or get a standard sunroof with new seals and everything?

If you're going to get it sprayed anyway if I were you I'd put in another roof.  If you decide to go with a std VW sunroof get yourself a scirocco tilt n slide sunroof as well :cool:

why another roof if being sprayed?
