    Hi, hoping that someone may be able to advise if I'm on a wild goose chase or not!  Have recently fitted a DAB radio and just got round to replacing the factory aerial with a new beesting DAB aerial, so had the headlining out to run the wiring properly.  Whilst it was out decided to give the headlining a clean up, which meant I needed to do the sunroof interior panel too as otherwise it would have looked rubbish!  

    So here's the question - a black piece of trim came out during this process and I have no idea where it's come from / what it's actually for!  It's part number 763684959 (image below), but I can't find it on a parts diagram anywhere for the Corrado sunroof, it only seems to be referenced on a Polo!  I only seem to have one and can't see it's opposite part anywhere, as I assume it's "sided" and there should be a mirror image for the other side....

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise on this (especially if it's important for the sunroof continuing to tilt and slide!)....

    Cheers, Phil

    No - there are two variations - early with a three pin connector on the motor and late which have a different harness connector but I can't remember the specifics of the late connector.

     

    I think you can fit an early motor to a late panel, but not the other way round....

    Adding pics

    Finally got round to doing this, having bought a set of Sprinter's reproduced foam liners several years ago but never getting round to fitting it!

     

    Not too bad all in all, took about an hour to quickly scrape of the foam, then used a cloth to rub white spirit into the residual glue / foam residue layer and scrape off with a credit card to get back to pretty much pristine paintwork underneath (if only the same was true of the topside of the bonnet, which is definitely due a respray!).

     

    Then it was just 5 mins to actually fit the replacement foams - what a difference not to have crumbling, patchy foam!

    I don't think there are many that fit the Corrado because of where the seat belt comes out of the chassi - I've got two of these which fit really nicely into the back of the Corrado - recommended by a few people on here. Not cheap (£90 at Halfords at the moment) but they should last until they are no longer needed, as they start as a five point harness, then you can remove the harness and use with an adult belt. My girls are still in these at 6 and 4....Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the replies all.

     

    It's split from the section that pushes into the channel, so I'll see it the one from heritage is any good, as I think I'd need an awful lot of sealant to hold it down!

     

    Cheers

    Hi,

     

    My outside windscreen trim also needs replacing - I assume you can replace it without removing the windscreen?

     

    Can anyone advise how this is fitted - is it just a push fit or do you need to use a glue or sealant to hold it in place?

     

    I've (tried to) attached some pics to demonstrate the need!

     

    Cheers

    Yep, that's right for how they function.

     

    I'm not sure on the connector locations, but think it'll be somewhere on the forum if you try looking for info on uprated looms (ones that use the existing loom, plus relays so that you get battery voltage at the headlights rather than losing a few volts round the wiring harness - well worth it if you haven't already....)

    Insurance will vary massively - will depend on a load of factors and be anywhere between 100 and a couple of thousand.

     

    You may want to check prices for not garaging the car, as due to the increase in size of cars versus garage width, it can increase the premium if you're not in a high theft risk area as you're more likely to claim for paint from moving the car in / out of the garage!

    What does the other headlamp do?

     

    The headlight you have as dipped is dipped when on dipped, then there is also an extra element in the bulb that comes on when you select full beam - hence the bulb has three contacts on the back. The light you have as main should only come on when you're on full beam.

     

    Hope that helps.

     

    Cheers
