I don't think anyone bar VW does a repair kit. I hope you have deep pockets. The parts to change the guides and cables were about £120 when I did mine a about four years ago.

You are best to replace the lot while you have the sun roof apart :) You need cables and guides IIRC.

Hi mate, my sunroof packed up like yours so I needed a new 1. The casing isn't new but the cables and all gear are new and the motor looks in new and clean.

Repair kits can be had from the dealers. I just bought both sides for a Passat moonroof for £81.60. Would've thought Corrado ones would be the same price or very similar.

 

90 quid for a sunroof with all new or nearly new parts is a steal. A new motor alone cost £247 and I think they're now obsolete.

Oh, if only t'were the case. A single repair kit (one side) will set you back £93.13 from TPS these days. And don't forget the special grease, a steal at only £20.20 a tube!

 

Edit: for the benefit of future readers: the above part actually contains cables for both sides.

I bought one of these recently, on ETKA it states that the quantity is 1 (I.e. one side) however it also states that it covers the Left and Right (i.e both sides) VW couldn't confirm which was correct, so i just ordered one, luckily there were two cables when it was delivered

You know, I got all the bits back in November last year and haven't got around to fitting them yet so I just opened up the bag and had a look - you're absolutely correct that both cables are included...

 

So I have a spare repair kit including both cables which I'll let go at cost if anyone's interested :p

Obsolete and absolutely as rare as hens teeth! Think I've seen 2 sets for sale in the last 4 years!

 

This thread is 3 years old btw.

I'm also looking into repairing mine. The sunroof would tilt but wouldn't slide smoothly. It would stop moving and I'd have to keep pressing the button repeatedly. Now my headlining needs doing I've decided to tackle the sunroof at the same time whilst everything is out. Ive come to operate the motor again and now it does nothing, all I hear is what sounds like a relay clicking.

First question is the motor repairable?

I've manually wound the sunroof open and closed, it feels tighter than it should although still works OK. It's probably worth rebuilding it but are the parts available to do that? Cheers.
