That works. Great. Much appreciated!

How strange. Maybe its using Cookies. I just copied and pasted the link into Safari and Chrome on my mac, but just goes to generic Ebay page?... hmmm. Might you be able to give me the name and or model number of the part? Thanks mate.

hmmm, link doesn't seem to be working - just goes to generic page?

Thanks Odub, do you know where i can source them from?

Thanks Odub. I see that this american site does Corrado overlays for $25.00 if you don't want to spray or tamper too much with the OEMs. Ship to the UK too. http://www.empiregfx.com/products/corrado-overlays Not completely sure what the Slotted, Square and Solid options are though. I am guessing that the "Solid" would be the option i am after.

Red rears are the looking great. Do you know where i can purchase from, or do i have to customise existing?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]84613[/ATTACH] Hi. sorry i am not sure that this upholstery still is going to match. The one i am after is late black cloth interior with small purple triangles, see attached

hi buddy, i haven't yet received a PM sorry.

Its just the advice i was given... maybe bad advice, but that is what i was told. But yes i agree i think they should remain lubed up. But i guess the cables need to be cleaned regardless...

Thats good news. I would be interested in the drivers seat, if it isn't worn and the bolsters are in good condition. Otherwise i am happy to take the passengers seat if the bolsters are better. The black cloth does it have faint purple triangles as part of the pattern? How much are you asking for one seat?

Ok buddy, many thanks for your help and sorry to put you through the trouble. Yes it is exactly that number - 3A0 959 731B Strange because it only tilted the sunroof but no 'slide'. However, just this afternoon i have been told by a specialist mechanic who works on sunroofs that both the motors (the original Corrado and Mk3 Golf) are probably fine and there is nothing wrong with them. He said it is probably the cables that need degreasing instead because of all the dirt grease and grime that has collected over 20 years. Apparently its a big job and you have to take out the who sunroof cassette and remove all the grease the the cables are bone dry and then don't re-grease but use WD40 instead. (grease collects dirt) I was quoted a 2 day job for £400.00. Ouch! I think i might get a 2nd opinion...

Im trying to get hold of a later edition black cloth driver or passenger seat, if there are any out there for sale. Contact no. 07961 789332.

Ok thanks mate the part number was what i originally asked for. Ill chuck the other motor away.

Yes i tried pushing the button up and down and this tilted open and closed the sunroof - which was fine. However when i push the same button backwards and forwards expecting the sunroof to slide back and forwards it didnt, it tilted open again in the same way as pushing the button up and down?... I can only think that the electrics on the MK3 motor don't accommodate for the 'sliding' action. When i put my old motor back in, the button worked with all 4 actions, but still only slides half way over.

Hi Cressa, i did as you suggested and purchased a mk3 golf sunroof motor and fitted it. Unfortunately it only tilts open and closes but it does not slide the roof backwards and forwards. Very disappointing.

Yes please do mate

Thanks buddy. Do you know the part no. and/or Golf make/model and year?

I purchased a re-conditioned sunroof motor for my VR6 corrado last year and it was working fine until 2 months ago. Now it opens fine but on closing it only reaches half way and then i have to keep pressing/nudging the button to move it to completely close. I am guessing that the motor cannot be reset or reconfigured so i am now in the market for a replacement. Has anyone got a spare they would be happy to sell me?

Yes i am in need of a grey one too, if it is still available. Guy 07961 789332.

Mine was working fine for 9-10 months after i installed the new re-conditioned motor. I used the recommended white lithium grease to lubricate and everything has worked perfectly until a few weeks ago. Mine opens fine but only goes back half way before you have to start nudging it. Perhaps it is something to do with the number of rotations in the motor needing to be reset so that it can close?...

Yes it flips up fine.

Thanks Cressa, ill try that. Have you got a parts number?

Thanks Jim, it looks similar. Might be worth checking out.

I fitted a replacement sunroof motor to my 95 VR6 Corrado last year and it was working perfectly until approx 6 weeks ago. Now it opens just as well before but now it does not move back and close properly - stops short of closing by about 3 inches. Then i have to repeatedly press the knob to nudge/inch it back into close position. It sounds like i need another new motor after all unless there is a fix or if i can reset the motor. I would be very grateful it someone had a working motor they could offer me. Thanks all.

Yes Jim, I'm wondering if the variants are going to fit.
