Car is off the road and in the dry so I'll give it a go. Thanks

Anyone care to voice their opinion on the above?

Will the seal around the glass roof come away without breaking? I want to clean the muck between the seal and glass. Ta

GIXXERUK, Thanks for that, I'll go ahead and refit the trim anyway. The blind still works manually as well.
-
I'm thinking that if you tilt the sunroof then you want fresh air and you won't get it if the blind is closed so it opens it for you just as it does when the roof is opened fully. Can anyone else confirm this?

I've just refitted the sunroof with the new part and it's working sweet! The only question I have before I start refitting the trim is, when the blind is closed and the roof is tilted the blind is automatically pushed back about 100mm, is this normal as I suspect it is? Thanks

Had to grin and bear the inevitable - got back from the Stealers today with a new repair guide coming in at £34 and I only manged to get a measly 5% off, oh Joy!

Usually swear when I'm cut up, no indicators or tailgating.

Back to the Future has always been a favourite of mine so the De Lorean gets my vote but what about the Dodge Charger in Dukes of Hazzard? Another movie car that sticks in my mind, probably for being so evil is 'The Car'.

Anyone have any experience with these? I have one on my valver but there was no key for it so it's not being used and I don't have any instruction with it. A copy of the instructions would be handy if anyone can help. Would be great if I could see it working again. Ta

While we're on the subject of offset, what are the opinions of ET20 on a valver? I've got ET35 wheels but may stick on 15mm spacers I had before I bought the wheels. I'm thinking accelerated wheel bearing wear. Stance would look go though. Wheels will be 7" with 205's.

GIXXERUK, Thanks for the info but I've already got those docs. They refer to the Corrado sunroof but I have the Passat glass roof, they're not that far off anyhow. I've identified the part I need, it's the guide that the rocker attaches to. It's mostly hidden in the channel.

Investigated the lifter (or whatever cast metal part it is) and it seems it was slightly bent which is why it wouldn't engage. Tried to clamp it back down...........snap! So out came the sunroof frame, which I didn't want to do and removed the bent part which luckily was the part that went snap. Hopefully I can get a replacement from VAG.

Very true - I made 2 round trips of 400miles each.
-
Eventually got the headlining and sunroof panel out tonight. I've figured out the motor hadn't been set-up in the correct position when it went back in and also the cables each side were not aligned correctly. Now that's done there is a problem with the lifter on one side - it's sitting too high and not engaging properly when dragging the roof back. I think the back end where the small Black rubber band needs packing up a little. Apart from the above it seems to be working fine, just needs a good lubing up.

-Neil-, will do, not got round to the mechanics of it yet.

I got my 93K plate 2L 16v with 139k for £1200 in December. No rust anywhere.

Right I've just had a bugger of a job getting the front screen trim panel off. Windscreen has been replaced in the past because there was about 10" of adhesive holding it down one side. As a result I've had to break the trim off just to get it off :( :x The trim around the sunroof came off ok though. Thanks for your help.

Top work!
