    It just wasn't your day Kris. Firstly the bird sh!t and then this. How did the othe Corrado fair? It must have been one of two people :norty: :norty:

    Thanks for the advice.

     

    With regards to the cost of parts, I was quoted (from the dealers) £69.70 + VAT for the cable assembly just for one side. Should there be some kind of kit available that provides the parts for both sides? Any reference number/code etc would be appreciated so that I can ask for the right thing. This seems quite expensive just for the one side, and although only the left side had broken, I wouldn't really want to go to the trouble of fixing this only to have the right side break later on, so may as well do both.

     

    I did consider a moonroof, but I really do prefer the body coloured metal sunroof, so unless it will be considerably less expensive (i.e. I can get a complete moonroof for say £100, then I think I'll aim to fix what I've got.

     

    Slightly OT but I spotted you on the roundabout at the top of Commercial Rd this morning.

     

    I have a complete moonroof, motor and loom available for £80 if you get stuck.

     

    Cheers for the offer re: the moonroof. I'll get back to you on that if I decide to take that route.

     

    Re: being spotted, were you in your C? I'm normally on the look-out but didn't notice you.

    No worries.

     

    I was in the Polo GTI. The Corrado is wrapped up for the winter :)

    It will be expensive, last time I checked with VW they quoted £600+. You can do most of the work yourself by removing the entire sunroof unit and paying for someone to do the tricky part. I did the whole job myself and it's really not as bad as it sounds, plus you have the satisfaction when it fully works afterwards. You could also fit a Passat moonroof to save you the trouble. I have one if you are intersted?

     

    It's some time since I did mine but I am fairly local if you get stuck.

    Make sure you buy a couple of sets of spline bits as they do round off quite easily. If you happen to break or round off any of the bolts there's a guy on the Polo forum who has some spares.

    You can get them repaired, but they will never be as perfect as when they left the factory. I have used BJV for some BBS wheels which had some very bad flat spots. They were good enough to get through the MOT and balanced up OK despite still being a little distorted after the refurb.
