MK2 GTI Sunroof

[yorksrocco]

Hi

I'm having difficulties with the sunroof on my Mk2 GTI so I'm thinking of replacing it. I've seen a GL near by being broken for spares.

Does anyone know if the GL sunroof would fit the GTI? They're are wanting £70 for the sunroof and mechanism though which seems a bit daft...

Also the dashboard has cracked, anyone know of a good way of filling the cracks as it'll be another £70 for a new dash, again from the GL

Cheers! :)

If it is a factory fitted sunroof and yours is it will be case of swapping over, but what is wrong with your sunroof?
The dash will be the same but alot of the GL's (and GTi's) came with a coloured dash!

Where are you based mate, there are a few members in the north east that may be able to help you?

Well my sunroof doesn't sit flush causing too much water to get past the seal and overwhelm the drainage pipes.

It may just need a good service rather than replacing the sunroof.

Yeah the GL dashboard is blue which isn't ideal!

I'm based in Sheffield

Thanks for the help!

Sounds like your sunroof needs adjusting, there is a section in the Haynes on how to do it.

With regards your dash you could put a wanted ad in the appropriate section on this site.

I'd start with cleaning the drainage pipes. 9 times out of 10 that is the cause of sunroof leaks
