awright182 0 Posted June 25, 2008 by quicksilver on 29.05.2005, 17:11 The problem you describe can also be caused by the silver rocker being worn. Specifically the small wheel at the back of the rocker but the problem can be compunded by the pin that the rocker is mounted on being bent upwards. What happens is that the rockers normally engange in a slot in the sunroof rails and as the sunroof slides back the rockers are meant to disengage from the slot and allow roof to slide. As the mechanism wears the rocker on the passenger side can be reluctant to disengage and so slightly bend the mounting pin for the rocker and often warping the water plate guide that was mentioned earlier. The rockers job in life is to keep the tilting mechanism locked to the rest of the cable and sliding mechanism until the rocker falls into its slot at which point the sunroof will then tilt. Once the rocker etc is distorted/worn it fails to lock together the sliding and tilting parts of the sunroof. This isn't a problem when sliding the sunroof open as this pushes the parts together but when trying to close the sunroof the parts are pulled apart, the rocker doesn't do its job and the sunroof starts to tilt as its sliding and if you're unlucky you get some nice scratches in your sunroof panel. Anyway enough of this essay, the upshot is still the same. You will need to take your roof lining down and take the sunroof out. If you haven't done this job before then allow a day for it. You will need a new rocker repair kit some white grease possibly a new guide although these can sometimes be straightened back out and a lot of patience. Whilst you have the roof out it may be worth renewing the passenger side cable for peace of mind as you will kick yourself if it snaps the week after you fix your sunroof. A second pair of hands will help when you need to manoeuvre the headlining out as it is very fragile and easy to break. The part number for the rocker repair kit is 1HO 898 019 (this is the Golf part but it looks identical apart from the colour of the rocker, I think the Corrado part is the same number but with an A on the end: 1HO 898 019A I think the cable is part number 1HO 898 014A although you should be able to verify both part numbers elsewhere on the forum. quicksilver :: CF Newbie :: Search the forum. The part you want is still available. I bought one last week. My sunroof is back together again now and working fine (touch wood) Apologies for the cut and paste. I don't know how to do a link Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
