Pretty sure that’s a two stage fan unit. Also pretty sure clips are on the wiring. I’ll go in the loft in a min and check for you and it’s front end off or scratch your manifold etc

You do right waiting a while, it can’t hurt, I’ve done the same. The paint was still a bit “soft” after a couple of weeks, that’s why I held off for a bit

Definitely not the same seal, they are handed. There are two mushrooms for clips close together at the front of the door. I saved money and cleaned mine up with Gumi Pflege, after all they are under the door.

There are 5 clip things and double sided adhesive as Cressa says. Beware the clips are fragile as is everything. They pop over a mushroom thing to secure. Used normal black foamed double sided tape to refit, about the same thickness as I took off the seals

Cheers for that but a bit too late. The door is officially finished, bar the card.

Thanks Cressa that’s it. I was right then but didn’t want to risk it. It looks like it should go that way because of how the flappy bit curves, but I’ve learnt to take nothing for granted with Corrado design 😂😂

Can someone please post a pic of the rubber strip on the underside of the door just to make sure I fit it the right way round. Get that done and I can move on. Fitted the kick plate off of Sprinter, very nice.

Double sided sticky membrane. Got this in 2012 by the looks of it. It’s like a super sticky membrane that is really useful for things like rubber bits as in the door jar and hatch

Welcome back to ownership and the forum. Get some pics up

It’s a lot easier when the bolts aren’t rusted solid. I’m sure you’ll be fine mate.

Why don’t you have a go at doing your own sunroof. Mine looks lovely

It’s the metal inside the rubber that needs shaping, the only thing that’s going to help is pre shaping, Vince avoids sunroofs like the plague, it’s the only thing they won’t mess with

It fits great once you’ve wrestled with it for two hours and made the ends of your fingers numb. But I suppose it’s got to grip it good as it’s no good coming loose and falling off. Yes at it today, been doing the drivers door and come in for a bit as I’ve lost a bolt and was going mad looking where I’ve put it. Just that bolt to put back and the kick plate and I can turn it around and start the other side.

Definitely looks like something is going on now. 😇

I’d advise anybody who’s fitting a new sunroof seal to get an old sunroof panel and run it around that first and then fit it to your sunroof panel. You have to pull and push that hard to get it to fit properly that there is very large chance of damaging your sunroof panel. It fits a lot easier once it’s shaped.

Next up. Put some brood together. OMG. Decided for the best to have the cassette in the closed position and drop the lid onto that and then put the screws into that. Open it on full tilt, then replace the interior sunroof cover from the back. Make sure the interior panel goes over the hooks on the cassette or it won’t close fully with the roof panel and the rain gutter won’t line up properly. It need a good push from the back in the closed position. What a lot of messing about. The sense of achievement when I got that set up and working was unrivalled, definitely deserves a beer going through that. below the hooks the interior panel must go over to secure or brake loose finished and relax

Put this gutter strip on yesterday as the first bit of rubber to go on. Bit of a faf and nerve racking.

Wheels look good and so do the brakes. logos in silver are a nice touch. Shows them Brembo runners what class is.

Merry Christmas Everyone. Nothing Corrado related specifically but I did bet one of those magnetic stainless bowls with a rubber bottom for putting screws in as you take them out and a led head torch thing so I can see what I’m looking at, which is always a bonus 👍.

Off the top of the oil filter housing for oil temp and pressure. you shouldn’t ever really have stage 3 fans come in which I think is the black sensor on the thermostat housing 115 degrees shouldn’t get over that really. Mine having a turbo does get warm quick and hot if you are pushing it, to keep temps down I’ve fitted upgraded 12” fans I can manually switch on any time and a mocal oil cooler added on to the original oil cooler set up. I also run turbo oil which can take more heat. On a motorway thrash water can sit around 100 and oil 110 to 115. A lot depends on outside temp though and weather or not I put the fans on. But in this weather I’ll get similar temps to you maybe 90 on my cluster Pottering about. In the summer though my fans come on as soon as I’ve idled a min at a junction.

Pretty sure when Talking to Vince and watching what goes off when he plugs all his stuff in for a Dino/diagnostics. oil temp on cluster pretty accurate water temp on cluster 8-10 degrees lower on cluster than actual Merry Christmas everyone !!!

FYI at 5 degrees outside Temp under normal driving, not track/spirited yours would seem normal water temp wise you shouldn’t hear the fans kick in. just wondered what the oil temp was

What was your oil temp?

Well done nearly there. So close

I’m hoping I get it all back together except the interior over the break so I can get the glass sorted in the new year. I've spent the last 2 days with a bloody polisher in my hands. Scuff marks all over it where they haven’t finished it off properly after fine sanding, I started doing it just where seals and stuff go so I could avoid getting gunk in the seals if I left it till later. Unfortunately my OCD kicked in and I’m basically doing a 3 stage polish from the doors back! ffs 😂 I’m determined however not to do any sanding/Flatting myself.
