Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 Lol Looks like that was already answered. Yup! But thanks - so maybe no need to replace sunroof seal then! But, it did SOAKED the interior when I used a hose pipe to rinse car - so will need to look at the drains at some point ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZpog 10 Posted March 31, 2015 Headliner removal is/was pretty easy, but I wouldn't try it alone as it's easy to bend/break it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 nice find wayne printed & stored with my other how to's lol No worries, bud 8) I removed mine and find the following to add: That link very very good step by step removal of headliner. But, Be warn that its very very tight to pull out headliner. So, I recommend : 1. Remove as much trim as possible (or at lease loosen up)!!! 2. Prepare to get the inside covered in debris/old foam 3. Prepare to warp (of even crease/snap sponge headliner) 4. U need TWO people when pulling out the headliner (one to pull the other to keep bending the trims!) 5. Headliner needs new foam strips to replace on the topside (either they old or ripped out when sliding out :eek:) 6. Think about HOW to slot headliner back in :shocked!: But, this is just my experience :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 Headliner removal is/was pretty easy, but I wouldn't try it alone as it's easy to bend/break it. Totally agree! I think did mine within 30mins...but at the end did struggle and got my son to sit inside to bend the trims more... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted March 31, 2015 Can the sunroof drains be cleared by blowing through them with an air line? Or use something like the outer brake cable off a push bike and push the accumulated debris through? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 Can the sunroof drains be cleared by blowing through them with an air line? Or use something like the outer brake cable off a push bike and push the accumulated debris through? Certainly worth a go! But I like to do things thorough and take things apart! I did it on my Honda Prelude - but do NOT want to do it again! :eek: Not on the same car anyway! Balancing the rear bumper on my thighs whilst trying to slot into the bolts holes and bolt on is NO FUN - especially when it scrapes the wing paintwork as well! :shocked!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted March 31, 2015 Can I just check... Do I need to remove front / back bumpers AND wheel arches to get to the 4 drain outlets? no need to remove anything wayne open sunroof on slide fully fill a bottle up with water, 500ml with a nozzle helps in each of the four corners, one at a time m8, pour a little water into the channel & then check if it comes out under the car from the respective corner IE if you pour water into the front left drain it should end up coming out from under the front left wing if you dont see any water making it to the ground the channel may be blocked - a good squirt with an airline should budge the blockage IF you find a blocked one it might be worth checking if water is getting into the cabin or overflowing the channel on the sunroof cartridge i believe it is worth giving each drain hole a good blow out with an air line just anyway as a just in case ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuggs1 10 Posted March 31, 2015 Could you get away with a bike pump if you could get a reasonable seal and then one or two quick pump could blow our any debri??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It means I need to wind the sunroof back manually by Allen key.. And should the sunroof get stuck opened and the heaven open up.... I will try it when the C is safely parked in my garage at home!
