retrodal 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Hi all, thanks for all the advice on my potential purchase of my very first corrado on Sunday. Looking through mountains of threads it seems that the sunroof is a problem. The good thing is, the one I am seeing works fine...I'm told! Any tips on how to keep it that way.... Cheers folks Retrodal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retrodal 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Smokin!!!!! what I nightmare. Was it expensive to sort out? or does it just tilt now Thanks for comments on mileage. Supercharger was recon at 120k. anything I should look for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godskitchen 0 Posted January 14, 2005 still not got the sunroof sorted as its now winter and no need for it, had it serviced in november and vw asked for £245 to fix it! LMAO, can get it done chep tho if u look around! things to look out for are the door handels! poo! and the lights switch which is £53 from stealers, as i have said before the corrado does not really have a lot of big problems but a sh1t load of little ones IMO. But then thats what come with having what i would call a non mass production car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 14, 2005 The sunroof is a weak point but it's cheap and easy to repair....and it's Rockwell international's doing, not VW's :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godskitchen 0 Posted January 14, 2005 At the end of the day tho VW choose who they get their parts from, so it is their doing IMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 14, 2005 How come the BMW rockwell sunrooves don't break then? P.S The rolled eyes was directed at Rockwell International for the POS mechanism they designed for the C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-ted 0 Posted January 14, 2005 OK, opinion: My sunroof currently tilts no probs, but wont slide at all. From fully tilted, it gets to the closed position then stops. I quite fancy taking it apart and having a look to see if I can fix it, the thing is I hear horror stories of them getting stuck mid-slide, or worse still coming off the runners and putting scratches all over the top. Should I just think myself lucky that mine tilts and leave well alone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heardy 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Big-ted mine tilt's okay but wont slide back properly when operated with the motor,but it will go back if you wind it back manually with the handle. just another job to do but i'm going to wait until the summer..
