Info: Passat Moonroof Seal

Recommended Posts

*** Sharing for Information ***

 

I have a Moonroof from a '94 Passat Estate in my car. Installed by my own fair hand. I still have the scars to prove it. :)

The seal started leaking during the summer and I've had some trouble finding the correct replacement.

 

The first seal I ordered was the proper one for a Passat of this era.

But when I pulled the original seal off the sunroof I discovered it had a completely different profile.

Which turns out to be part number 357 877 209 A from a MK3 Golf VR6. €70 from VW.

The two seals are not interchangeable.

A costly mistake as the Passat seal was also €70. Now for sale if you need it.

 

So before you go ordering a seal, pop the end of it off the roof and check the profile. Looks like VW chopped and changed the glass itself between different models.
