kevinbowe2000 10 Posted July 25, 2014 I got to work today and the sunroof only closed half way. So I remove headliner and sunroof from the car at lunch. Removed totally from car. It looks like one side of the sunroof is popped off the rails but the other isnt, and it is nearly closed and will not move. I did a search but unable to find any way of dismantling the sunroof so i might be able to get it back on its rails and close fully. Dont care right now if it will work or not. Just need to get it fully closed and back on the car (Security and potential rain). Does anyone know of a place that might have a few pics on how to do this, or even just a few instructions. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted July 25, 2014 IIRC the bentley manual has an exploded diagram showing all the mechanism of the sun roof - not sure if you can find it online though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon green 4 Posted July 25, 2014 No,! They need cleaning,and greasing with the correct grease ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinbowe2000 10 Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks dragon. Think my whole sunroof is near shot :( Upgrade to a moon roof might be necessary. But at least I got it nearly closed. A bit of tape to seal it up just in case Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volksworld13 0 Posted July 26, 2014 Hi do you want to sell the sunroof for spares. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinbowe2000 10 Posted July 26, 2014 If I find a decent moon roof for okay money then I will. But finding that difficult at the moment. Will pm you if my search is successful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted August 13, 2014 A new cable is furry. Grease will help. As to getting it closed: From tilt, used the winding handle. From slide, it will not close again - ever - unless the problem is with the motor. You're going to have to drop the mechanism, remove the motor and bank on replacing the 'water guide plate' as a minimum if you want it to work again. It can be closed using brute force though.

kevinbowe2000 10 Posted August 14, 2014 I'm having great difficulty finding a b3 or b4 sunroof. Know that the mk3 sunroof mech fits but not the glass (sots a bit proud in the middle). I've heard that the mk2 Ibiza, mk2 Toledo and mk1 Octavia sunroof fit a Corrado with no worries. A couple mk1 Octavia sunroofs about. Anyone have any idea if this is true or not. Really like the idea of having a moon roof so looking for glass rather than the Corrado panel in mk3 mech. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
