Re: manifold-downpipe gasket

That is why it is better with two pairs of hands if you can get them. After fitting the first clamp, we did the offside first, someone went under the car and pushed the exhaust towards the nearside. This helped seat the gasket before fitting the nearside clamp. Two possible remedies, 1 - Go under ...

manifold-downpipe gasket

how do people go around changing that gasket with the stupid c clips holding the exhaust together???? in situ

i guess you can lever the clips off with a bit of force but how do you get them back on again????

i guess its easier to whack a 4-2-1 manifold on there

Re: sunroof

Had a thought. I remember that VW made the Polo 'open air' , which has a full length fabric sunroof. It might be worthwhile going down you local dealer and taking a look on ETKA. I am not sure but maybe it has a similar type of seal or something that can re-engineered to solve your issue. i'll look ...
