LOCK: 1993 VW GOLF CL sunroof (car totalled)

[Spidey]

Hello,

I am looking for the whole sunroof mechanism for my car. Recently I have been having trouble with. Does anyone know of anyone that may have either recently totaled their VW golf or know of anyone. Recently someone had on here, but never got back to me.

Its going to be real expensive if I get it fixed with the parts and labour and buy it new. But if I get the whole piece used, it wont take them long at all.

Thanks

You can try searching junk yards but it'll be hard to find the entire thing in good condition.

If you are willing to look outside AB, try some of the places here in BC - this Watercooled Mecca - try Google'ing Autobahn Dismantler's in Langley - they are located beside HPA and have a ton of stuff. You can also try Denon Performance in Port Coquitlam (the owner is Ron Johnson who used to run Ron's Parts).

GTI's - I've had a few (and loved each and everyone one of them)

Thanks for the tip. One good thing is I can still open it up, it just wont retract. The dealershio has no idea how the one side trck got bent. I miss using the open sunroof.

have you tried Denon perfomance like I suggested? or Autobahn Dismantlers? RPI, HPA & Hotwater Performance are also good bets - all here in the Lower Mainland.

Also, try posting on:

Suh-wheet. I will call them next week. Thanks ;)

[Spidey]

Yay, they have the part in Langely, BC. A new sunroof rack is over $1000, this one is only $200 plus shipping. Second major repairs in almost 12 years, not to bad. Thanks for finding this for me

[Jumbotron]

Glad to be able to help - serious BC is the place for anything VW

Cool. I just dont understand how something can get bent inside the roof. Oh well, its better than buying new. Over $1000

How much did you want to spend? I frequently scour scrap yards to get parts for my VWs. If I find something in your price range I'll let you know.

$100 - $200 I think. Im sure it has to be the whole insert. Thanks

You still haven't bought this yet? $200 from Langley seems like a good price - shipping should be reasonable.

OOS. Which reminds me, he said to phone him every once in awhile. Ill cal again tomorrow

Same prob on the car I want to get, it is a frequent problems with most VW made in early 1990. Something in the assembly breaks so you have to replace the whole thing, sometimes just the track if you're lucky.

GL!

Thats what happened, something got bent. Stupid thing was the 10 year warranty ended a few months earlier.

I should just get this done, but I dont have the extra cash right now. But then, when do we really have "extra" cash

[Freezer]

Careful now, if you start to try to use your sunroof, you could end up with a nasty scratch. I think a junkyard or Ebay might help. Worst, go back to VW, they have a newer assembly model made.

The sunroof goes into the roof, not over it. Something got bent on the track that wont let it retract, Dealer replacement is about $1000

[Freezer]

Right, it goes into it but when the gear is messed up, it knocks the sunroof higher to scratch the paint.

The sunroof is glass. So you can have the inside lid open in the winter and the sun shines through it. I like this better then the ones that are the same colour as the car, its either all or nothing with those

That would make it a moonroof (as opposed to sunroof) then. ;)

mk3 moonroof correct?

[Spidey]

mk3 moonroof correct?


Let me try to get this staright. Mine is the glass top, not the painted one thats the colour of the roof. So when you open the shade inside, you can see out of it when tis closed. Is that a moonroof or sunroof.

Whats mk3

Mk3 is a 3rd generation Golf/Jetta (starting around '92, I think) also known an A3. Moonroof /Sunroof - whatever - just call that place here in BC that I called for you and tell them what you want. I know you were tight on $$$ when I found them for you, but with the difficulty you have had finding one - you probably should have snagged it and pay it off on your credit card slowly - It was only $200 plus shipping. Yes, I know they were sold out last time you called, but they get in new wrecks all the time.

if it's just a single part i can most likely get the single part. but if you want the entire thing with seals etc. they'd have to have a wreck there.

They cant get the part seperatly, or thats what they say, I may need the whole thing except for the glass. Once i get going on it, it will be done :)

[SoNgMaN]

$120 with glass.. to save on shipping i can remove the glass for you.

I dont need the glass so what would it be without the glass. Does it include everything elsem tracks, cables, etc.

There is a wreckers near me (in Ontario) that has a couple complete setups. They want $125 including the glass if I pull it myself. I'm not sure what the price would be without glass but I'm going on Saturday morning so I'll find out for you.

don't mean to bust your chops - but what's wrong with the various ones that have been found for you? I doubt you'll find anything less than $125 - besides isn't it too cold in AB to be working on your sunroof?

A heater helps too. Did you want me to check around the wreckers in Langley again? or do you want to call them yourself?
