[SKYLINE_GURL]

Can anyone give me some names (and phone numbers if possible)

of places that I can get the sunroof seal on my R32 replaced?

Places in western suburbs or city area would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Well, I called The Sunroof Centre...

They were very helpful in telling me that I need to find a sunroof seal in better condition from a wreckers or I'm stuck with a leaking sunroof. Something about because its a factory sunroof you cant just pull it out and put a new one in.

So I still need helpppp regarding this, can anyone reccomend some wreckers to try for the seal?

Thanks

Waz.

WazR32GTSt, silicone would be a quick fix, thought I would do that (plus the cover I have for car) for now till I fix it properly...

MissRB25DET I called the guy and he was VERY helpful, however not want I wanted to hear. He said I wont find just the seal, that I will need to replace sunroof. He also said to say thank you to you for all the reccomendations, he is getting business from you mentioning him to us skyline owners

Thanks again!

some call cable ties a "quick fix" too...

i think they're both a viable long-term option

Thats really nice to hear :)I have bought a few things from them and never had a problem.

As for the sunroof, what are you going to do now?

[ylwgtr2]

i could have a look at it and devize an idea that would make it look OEM....possibly even get an original seal for it

SKYLINE_GURL... Anything this man says he can do.. He Can!!!

Troy is a top bloke hes helped me out numerous times....

[SKYLINE_GURL]

Got the car delivered last night and found that the sunroof doesnt open and close, well it moves a cm and opens upwards a bit but doesnt slide open completely.

That wouldnt be just a seal like the guy said would it!?...

I couldn't tell whether the seal needs replacing, not sure where seals are on this sunroof. Is there a seal on outside edge of it that should sit flush with the car roof? That's how I thought it was meant to be but it has a gap all the way around the sunroof...

Can anyone understand what I mean, to explain what should look like?

Now I dunno if needs seal, service or replacinggg

[boj01]

Sounds like the motor in the sunroof is rooted!

[MissRB25DET]

take a photo and post it up. we will get a better idea then.

[SKYLINE_GURL]

I can hear the motor working and the sunroof moves a bit, just seems to get stuck and not go any further but I can still hear the motor working... might try oil/lube see if it gets it moving, save myself getting new motor/entire sunroof.

Will post a pic up of the sunroof tonight, showing seal, well 'lack' of seal on outside. So much fuss for a sunroof (that i didnt know the car had when looking at purchasing it) But with the melb weather I dont want to wait till it pours and leaks to find out!

Once again thanks for the help, ideas etc.
