sunroof questions

[zmaster2k]

ok does anybody actually know how to fix the leaky sunroof?

car is stripped, its DEFINATLY the sunroof

anybody know how to fix this?


can i get a new seal/gasket?


also can i fit a manual sunroof over the electric?

[Justin..]

Manual roof is the same just a handle instead of motor. The pop up one doesn't fit in place of a tilt and slide.

I realise before suggesting that you may not want to, but... if its stripped you could just weld it up? or fit plastic in its place?

just a thought!

i was thinking of this as for a track car i'd prefer to use a valver hybrid rather than spoil my williams.

trouble is all valvers have the sunroof! how could you get a good shape on the plastic/welded material as it's not flat?

We use carbon fibre or a fibreglass panel which flexes slightly and nice and snug :D

Sweet! would there be a place to get this ready made or i'm guessing they're a self fabricate jobby?

Yeh dont particularly want to weld it/rivit it up. Wouldn't mind a carbon fiber panel but they are silly money from streamline carbon(look ****ing sexy though!)
