Sunroof Metal Shell - 4th Gen

Post by **simonc** » Thu May 14, 2015 9:22 am

Hello everyone out there in Lude-land.
Desperately seeking the 'shell' part for the sunroof which on mine has begun to corrode itself into oblivion. The rubber seal on mine looks okay but if that's part of the deal then I'll buy that as well.
Don't worry about shipping it abroad, I'll get my brother to arrange that - should anyone be in a position to sell me the roof then either I'll need a quote for shipping it to Halifax, West Yorkshire or I'll bribe my brother to drive to wherever you are to collect it.
I'm open to buying a carbonfibre one should anyone have one of those.
Thanks folks - I hope someone out there has what I need.
Simon.

You could also go with a 5th Gen glass panel.

I had a rust free black one I intended for Eve before she was bummed to death by a Corsa, it's been sitting in a garage though, let me find it and check the condition.

[edit] Actually, my mate Duncan has a rust free red one stashed too, one of them has to be ok

I probably have one but shipping from Ireland might be costly. If you can't get one give me a shout, I'm into my eyes with exams at the moment though.

Good morning all and thank you for all these replies. @Vtecmec, I would love to do the glass option but I swear it looks too complicated for people over here to do. I just know something would go wrong and it would turn into a nightmare of biblical proportions.
@indigolemon. Sounds promising chap. If you wouldn't mind rooting in your garage for a gander at its condition then I'd be really grateful. also, if it's no bother, could you contact your mate and ask him the state of his. Thanks so much.
@DaveyBa8. Thank you and will be in touch if t'other sources don't work out. Much appreciated.
@Samiya85 Thank you and it's such a pity as you're just down the road but as I mentioned above, the glass option is fraught with danger. I appreciate the offer.

You can just swap the glass panel, rather than going all out nuts with the full mechanism, I think it is only about 4 screws.

@Vtechmec. Really? I thought it was right production. So, in effect, all I have to do is get the glass and just take out the old metal and pop in the glass?

@Samiya85. Hold the phone! I may be sending my brother (aka Malcolm Tucker) to see you with some readies in his hand if I find out the glass swap is easier than I'd imagined.
