science 0 Posted May 30, 2011 I bought a facelift Octavia - 2000 onwards - panel yesterday and offered it up to the car. It physically fits, screws into place, sits well against the roof line, however it has a late 6 wire loom with a circular switch. the rado has a three wire loom with toggle switch. I couldn't work out a way of getting the wiring to work with the rado loom.. and if i did, then I'd still be left trying to fit the octavia panel to the rado panel which would involve a lot of cutting. I tried swapping the motors, however the octavia motor is offset and screws in with 3 screws, rather than the rados two so they wont swap. . I've had a look at the loom on mine and it's 4 wire into the switch and 6 wire in the sunroof motor. Given that this is right loom, do you think the Octavia motor would fit under the Corrado panel?

MikeVR6 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Do you guys have quite a bit of wind noise with the moonroof? Mine does so just wondering if thats normal or should i try and replace the seal? Yes, although with the sunblind closed it's a bit quieter. I fitted a new outer seal and that reduced the noise a bit. It's still noisier than the original roof though. Just turn the stereo up :) ---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ---------- I just got a passat estate roof, only to find that when it was delivered the glass is far too big :( Gutted!!! ---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ---------- In fact i've just spotted the glass from an ibiza for sale, if i just bought the glass is it possible to transfer that onto my current sunroof??

krishen 2 Posted June 9, 2011 So according to that a mk3 golf and a jetta will fit? Im pretty certain the Golf one will NOT fit. Think its too 'curved'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr lobitos 0 Posted July 7, 2011 sorry to bother, have stripped out headlining to fit passat moonroof tomorrow, question is after reading through quite a few posts , there is a few mentions of fitting washers for spacing so roof sits properly , is this correct and if so how many and on which bolts, advice needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krishen 2 Posted July 7, 2011 When i fitted mine didn't need any spacers. And it sits fine and works perfectly. Mine is off a passat (i think). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Meth 0 Posted July 9, 2011 You will see when you bolt it up, but you will probably need some washers / spacers for the front bolts as the front may sit a bit higher than you want. Thus making it a bit noisier and possibly leaky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kev_VR6 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Picked my car up earlier today - had the body shop fit the moonroof for me and it looks great. It was the Passat B3 Estate version. Here's a couple of pics of it...

Peebee 0 Posted November 28, 2012 Nice one mate, I've got the same in mine, personally looks much better than the original tin ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Interesting, that looks like a proper rubber seal, which is unusual as the Passat ones come with a fabric-type seal which is rubbish... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted November 29, 2012 You shouldn't need any washers - there are adjusting screws front and back for proper alignment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
