Just fixed a broken sunroof guide….

Recommended Posts

Having spent some time swapping the working sunroof from my breaker into VRT I went to open it for the catch to jump off the rear slider on closing.

Messed around for ages trying to figure out what was wrong and it turned out the rear pass side slider had broken. Whether this just happened or if it was already like that in the other car and just worked ok I don't know.

 

After some head scratching and trying to switch parts from the other sunroof I eventually came up with this.

Drilled a hole where the broken slide had been and put a screw in. Then using a dremel I cut the head down to the correct size and put it back together. Seems to be working just fine now after many test opens.

Pikey it may be but at least I can now slide my roof back :cheers:

It normally the right rear latch guide that breaks and creates play with the runners , that is when it jumps over and scratches the sunroof, I'm sure these can be purchased in Germany new go 50-60 quid.
