A quick guide to changing a sunroof - ouch! pics

[clio-16-valver]

Well today I got the afternoon off to change my sunroof which has been pissing water all over me for days! I blame it on Scotland + French = Worst mix possible lol.

First off I took all the bolts out.

I then had to get the top and the bottom of the sunroof apart.

I first tried to get it away from the body with the aid from a screw driver but nothing. . .

I then tried a little bit of pressure and again nothing . . . . .

I then managed to get my hand down abit of the back of the sunroof (inside the car) Great! So I pulled and then this happened!!!

I have to say I am quite suprised at how sharp the metal around the edge is! Renault should have a warning on it lol. Prob would have still cut myself on it had there been one on it tho

[Coops]

its a none serviceable part, so if it wasnt being removed it wouldnt be a problem, n we aint supposed to remove it! :P

cars parts can be really sharp. in the seven years i worked in the trade i cut myself loads especially on engine parts inside the block. have had over thirty stitches too thanks to car related injuries. worst i had was cutting my wrist open on a bolt once. needed seven stitches alone that one.
