Sunroof - does this look right?

Post by Gem012 »

I'm buying new guide plates as mine are snapped.

But as a follow up question do these pieces look normal compared with others cars? from the manuals etc I can't actually see where these should be positioned.

my sunroof will tilt but not go back (partly due to snapped guide plate) but I don't want to end up breaking my new ones

that doesnt look right no. its definatly the guide runners broken by the looks of it in the picture. i managed to change mine from inside without actually taking off the sunroof. bit fiddly and just remember to take your time. patience is the key

thank you - it's impossible for me to tell what these should look like from the manuals and photos on line!

I'm running short of patience - I think i've solved one issue then only to find another
