Matt Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hey all. First off I do not know how to put multiple pics in one post. I'm sorry for having to put 3 posts to show this. The roof is working fine but I want to get all the little problems out of the way now. My manuals do not show these parts so can any body ID these part #s for me. If I can get this part will I be able to replace it or is it lots of work. The pics are in three posts. The broken part is toward the front on driver side. The roof opens and closes fine. The inner slideing shade closes almost all the way, it comes in contact with the broken rail and stays open about a half inch. The first two pics are of the broken side and the third is the good one.

WarrenJ Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Matt, Please don't take my word as the last. Any number of times in the past, folks here have asked about acquiring parts of a larger assembly like the roof *smurf*'y. The roof, in particular, has been mentioned as an *smurf*'y that must be purchased in toto. My guess is that you are due for yet another trip to the recycling center. It shouldn't be too long before that car of yours is perfect! Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.

sonjaab Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 MATT..............Is that a ASC aftermarket sunroof? It looks like the roof that was in my 90 DeVille.................. If so parts may be avail. from American Sunroof Corp. direct Or you could "cob" it up !...........geo 93 DeVille-13 Chevy Impala 72 GTO - 77 Triumph Bonneville 84 Z-28 Syracuse NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navion Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Matt, Unless there is a piece missing, I would try to use either super glue or 5 minute epoxy to repair it. If it doesn't work,then you are only out the cost of the material. If it does, then you got off cheap! Britt Britt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi Guys and Thanks for looking at it for me. As far as I know it came factory installed. Yes the car will be New if I keep going at this pace. But really it is in fair shape all around or else I would not be going at it like this. When some body says "Assembly" that scares me, especially with the sunroof. I would like to replace that broken part but not if I have to take the roof apart. I would hate to mess that up. If no more responces to this come up I may have to try the epoxy or glue idea. The only thing with that is, when you slide the inside shade shut it comes up against that broken part. That may brake it off again if it's only glued n place. This needs more thought. Later guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 For comparison, here's mine . . . . sorry, the cleaning lady was off this week! Regards, Warren P.S. And she just bought some of that there Meguiar's stuff. More about that funny "aluminized" back seat thingy in another post.

davedog Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 You DO need to take the glass panel out to access most of the sunroof parts. I did this to replace the sagging material on the sun visor thing. It is not too difficult, although putting the glass panel back in and getting it properly lined up so it shuts evenly takes patience. -dave Crystal Red Tintcoat Exterior | Shale/Brownstone Interior | 32k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Good Morning. Rick over at Sunroofdoctor is taking care of me just fine. It turns out my sunroof is not a Webasto. The roof is really a Vermuillion Hollandia of the Netherlands. These two company merged so the parts are available. My model roof is a TVS-Classic. More info later.
