Sunroof seal

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Anyone ever replace the sunroof seal on their Corrado before? Thinking of doing mine as it's looking a little aged. Found a brand new genuiene VW item for £50, it's the one that can be seen when the sunroof is shut.

 

Just wondered if anyone knew of any tricks on how to do it or whether I'd be better getting a garage to do it.

 

Cheers

Andy

fitting it is easy, but i took my whole sunroof apart and rebuilt mine from scratch, with new everything nearly. you need to take the sunroof panel out and pull the old seal off and then press the new one on (they are quite tight). basically pull the interior sunroof panel back so you can get access to the metal panel, then undo the 4 bolts holding the panel on (think they are those nasty star shaped heads) lleft the panel out, remove old seal fit new one, and refit.

 

Im sure theres a guide somewhere for refitting, as it can be a bit of a tight fit with a new seal, failing that, its all in the bentley manual.
