Sunroof
« on: 27 February 2008, 12:42 »
Hi, my sun roof was open on one side when i got the car, today i took the glass out and looked at it,  looks like the massenger side slider has broken,  I can see the motor pushing a bit of metal but its snapped off the part that connects it to the opening mechanisum,   Its a bit of a tricky one,  where would i get the new parts,  would it need a whole new mech fitted or can that slider be changed?


cheers.  :smiley:

Stevens in Boreham near Chelmsford just off the A12 are supposed to be the biggest breakers around for miles.
I tried to check their website but the server appears to be down.
