R34 Factory Sunroof Adjustment

[ozcanGTT]

I was just wondering if anyone has some advice on how to adjust the factory sunroof (R34) so it sits flush when closed. My sunroof sits slightly low at the rear, but thankfully no leaks. I have looked at various posts but no tutorial on how to adjust. Any info would be appreciated, thanks

interesting. i wouldnt worry about it leaking. if anything having it sit lower at the back will press it harder against the seals, making a leak less likely. although if the gap there is big enough water might get into the roof cavity and eventually cause rust. i cant remember if the one in my r32 does the same thing. might have a look next time i see it.

just had a thought. in my r32 there is a switch that tilts the back of the sunroof upwards, from the closed position. assuming the r34 has the same function why dont you press the button for a split second just enough to raise the rear of the sunroof enough so its flush? but if its actually supposed to sit sunken in at the back then raising it may mis-align it with the rails inside meaning it wont slide back into the roof from the flush position.. proceed with caution

my sunroof is the same as well as a freinds, they must just be like this in the r34.

any water which gets in goes down the rails in the sunroof and into drain pipes which lead to the ground. if it does leak could be these drain pipes are blocked... happended to me once and my headliner got wet. all i did was take air compressor to the small holes in the corners of rails, blew all the dirt build up out.

Thanks guys, I will have a closer look. The roof isn't leaking, but it does bug me how the glass roof doesn't sit flush

my 32 sits flush.
