Mk 3 sunroof issue

Post by rsderek »

The body shop removed the sunroof whilst respraying the car and handed it back to me as the guy that removed it left. Trying to refit it yesterDay and I discovered the plastic slider is in pieces on the left side. Can this be replaced and if so who sells it. I've googled it so much last night and no one seems to sell the plastic slider / guide



Thanks

Are you referring to the plastic slider on the panel itself? They are flat on one side and have a slight curve on the other?
These become very brittle over time so im not surprised its broken, but i dont think anyone sells them or makes them.
Capri Gear will likely be your only hope, failing him though im not sure theres any other solution.
Good luck with it, sunroofs can be a major pain! I know from experience, my one nearly gave me a nervous breakdown.
