Can any help on this one......

......the old sunroof issue.

 

Right i have finally got round to taking the headling out ready for a new piece, now i want to fit a moon roof from a passat, now has anybody written a "how to.." on this as i can't find one using the search on the forum.

 

I basically want to know the following,

Can i manually wind the metal panel out (the motor is screwed at the minute) and fit a moon roof glass panel stragiht in, or do i need the runner etc??

 

Is this job going to need more than one pair of hands?

 

The panel i have is a tilt and slide afair, well i assuming it is as the trim in side is split to allow flex whilst tilting, and also the mech bonded to the roof is so largei can only assume that this is so the roof can slide into it????

 

Are moonroofs (with runners if req'd) easy to get hold of????

 

SOrry if this has been up before but i am in need of a little help, and you guys have come through with some great advice previously.

Cheers in advance

You didn't even try did you? ;)

 

Not sure if there's a definitive how to on here, but this thread has a link to the american corrado site which has a guide.

 

I'm sure there are plenty other posts on here too - but that should be a start at least.

ah ha, you try to suggest i am inept at searching, you may be right but that link is a how to on a later spec corrado than my 1.8 16v, which, from the pictures alone shows a completely different sunroof assembly, with the back section (where the runners continue above the rear seats, there is a solid casing in which the sunroof slides into.....

 

so this is not really of much assistance. :brickwall:

 

cheers for the link though :clap: , but i have printed and read that one this morning

 

:gag:

Good news:

 

The only difference between the early and late spec sunroof mechanism is that the late models have an indent to provide clearance for the larger motor assembly.

 

This is the same for Passat saloon roofs, but the moonroof has some differences in the bits that slide back and forth to accommodate the separate glass panel and sunscreen.
