Original Golde sun roof

Post by quentin » 14 May 2010 08:44 am

Dear all,

This must probably my fist post on this side of the forum. I am a French member of the V3M club and I just bought a 360 with sunroof. Unfortunatly, I experience the usual problems: the roof does not close properly, the cover panel has got scratches and I the famous small plastic part on whih the guide is broken (as on the picture in the link below).

I guess ou all experienced the same problems. What solutions did you find?

Also I found a sunroofrepairer in Bristol:

Do you know about this garage?

Cheers

Hi mate.Hows it going with the sunroof? Im havent tried either of those companies as im a student & broke so Im going for the DIY approach.
If you type in the search 'how to fix sunroof' there should be a post about this if you fancy the DIY approach. I swear I saw a sunroof diagram for the 300 somewhere but it might have been in the haynes manual. Good luck either way mate. :)

Hy there,

Sunroof not fixed yet. The fault comes from the two plastic bits on which the roof is fixed. Of course there are no longuer available anywhere. I am looking at the possibility to have them redone in a special resin used by dentist. Let's see how it goes.

Cheers

Hi there, you can try the resin from a fiber glass reapir-kit, it`s very strong. I have the same problem, but i got a 760 sun roof and i`m trying to swap some of the parts. sm4

RS also do a pretty awesome resin if you could make up the mould, I've just found the stuff.

Part numbers... 199-1474. It's a PU though, and is very very slightly flexible, but not much in the size we'd need. They may also have something even more solid.
