Hi, I'm not quite sure if sunroof problems should go under interior or exterior, but anyway...
I've got a 1.6 Mk1 Sporting with electric sunroof. Unfortunately one of the teeny tiny pegs that hold the sunroof glass to the runners that support it has snapped. This means two things:
1. When I open the sunroof it pulls on one side only, then drags the other side along with it, making a nasty noise, and no doubt slowly killing the motor.
2. When closing (or attmepting to) the broken peg does not pull one side down flush, therefore not creating a seal. This is not fun when the rain begins!
How easy it it to remove the glass and add a new set of runners/guides? I'd like to get this fixed, but I'm wary of taking the car into a garage where they'll likely charge me for a whole new sunroof unit. Or is that all I could buy anyway??
Cheers,
Chris
