Replacement sunroof wanted (I think)

Recommended Posts

I'm considering tackling a repair to my tilt only sunroof and am thinking a straight swap for a working passat glass roof would be nice.

 

What have you got peeps?

If I'm going to suffer the hassle of pulling the sunroof, then I think the replacement will have to be a none corrado unit to hopefully avoid doing it again.

I've just fixed my mechanism. I got a cheap mk3 Golf replacement, but you can't use the original metal panel as the roof trim won't raise when you use the tilt function. Mine was doing the same thing as is in the link to the Corrado club of Canada in the wiki, and raising when sliding forward. I replaced the middle and rear locking parts with the ones from the Golf mech, and it now works perfectly.

Well, it would if my motor wasn't tits as well! Lol

Hi Daren, sorry mate that was one of the parts I had to replace. I have the drivers side but no good to you I'm afraid mate.

If all goes well this weekend I will be taking the whole sunroof & frame out of my mk3 Golf GTi that I'm breaking. Works fine.

 

I've had a quick search, it looks like the mk3 sunroof will fit a Corrado although it sounds like it'd be more involved than fitting a Passat one.

 

PM if interested.

Passat one is glass and supposed to be more reliable

 

Cool

So its the glass sunroof as opposed to painted sunroof.

 

I prefer the glass as it let's light in.

And thought about replacing mine.

 

But then I like the painted solid look on the outside,

hence decided to leave it for the time being (unless it leaks again :( )
