geoffersmaher 10 Posted April 30, 2013 Started off a good day today. Fixed the drivers door and fitted plates. But then disaster. Sunroof metal broke and the bloddy bonnet will not open! Gonna look into the bonnet. But for now what is the metal sliding piece that has snapped in the roof made of? Was wonsering if I could drop a couple of quick welds on it. If not any idea on what the code if for a repair kit ? I can take a pic for tomorrow Ta Geoff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BILLCOR 1 Posted April 30, 2013 I think its some kind of cast alloy? never heard of folks welding it anyhow, pretty sure the parts are still available, look at post #5 here > http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?80008-sunroof-seal-needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BILLCOR 1 Posted May 1, 2013 When I phoned vw about 5 years ago they said there is nothing left in a UK stock. I renewed most of the parts last year when the Rado was resprayed, you must have spoke to a sleepy heed :sleeping: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted May 1, 2013 It's Zinc Diecast I believe, a very cheap to produce material. Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
