electric sunroof convertion

It does, but no that "soon" thats why I open my sunroof once or twice a year to clean the groove around the glass. If you don't have water laying in the groove surrounding the glass it must be going somewhere and that will be past your glass seal, so it's faulty and not working.

I've told you what the tubes are for in my previous post so please read it. If you don't want to believe it OK DON'T .... there's no need to keep up your posts explaining on the basics of water in relation to disco sunroofs I think that after 14 years of my disco ownership my knowledge it's perhaps a lot more than yours.

Why the RED characters do you have a problem with etiquette?

Are you for real

The red was to emphasize the Fallacy of your assumptions..and draw attention to the fact that you are wrong....cant be any more succinct.

After 14 years of disco ownership it would still appear you understand very little about this subject. I am happy to defend my answer because anyone thinking about the problem will see its merit. How many on this Forum have paid top prices to buy the sunroof seal from flee bay only to find they still get water in and have just wasted their money. I will repeat, the seals are NOT supposed to keep standing water out, if they do it is as a last resort. Cleaning the drain channel is a good idea as debris can block the drain tubes. And as for the arrogance of your instruction that I need not continue to post, is only proof of your intransigence. With your obvious skills in keeping things water tight you should consider designing submarines for the Iranian navy.:bounce:

If this post can stop one or two fellow owners wasting cash on what they assume are defective inner lip to glass sunroof seals...then its a good thing.

if you do the research on sunroof leaks, after all its pretty well documented, see how few were repaired with just seals. This seal thing is a real red herring.

Have a nice day dude

I don't open mine, I don't use them and don't need them as I have a/c fitted but then I had to have them it wasn't an option.

My firms Accord has a sunroof I have never opened that either

Yes air con here too, so why have the sunroofs?! My old tdi was a b*stard for leaking sunroofs, sealed the back one up completely in the end. The front wasn't any better but one day decided to shatter into a million pieces all by itself, drove around a few days with plastic sheet taped over the hole got a used one off eBay and had it fitted and it didn't leak for about 6 months, then........sigh!

I have just converted my manual sunroof to electric, just bolted the elec motors in + the wiring loom and it all works Had to use the front and rear trim (roof lining) out of another disco for the switches to fit in. Everything works + no leaks

yeah easy isn't it
that's why i started this thread, cos the disco that died for me to have its electrical sunroof parts was a disco 1 300tdi es. and mine is a disco 2 gs
roof lining wouldnt fit cos a D2 is longer then a D1, so just swapped the sunroof control panels over

so all i need now is the electric seats and heated screen to make my GS into a ES
