sunroof sealing leaking...

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

sunroof sealing leaking...

Post by mac0502 » Sun Apr 10, 2011 3:54 am

My sunroof is leaking a bit, the rubber sealing doesn't look to good as the rubber is kind of hard and it is cracking. Any suggestions for the quick fix? The sunroof can be tilled up and pulled back it moves above or under the roof.

Hi mac your sunroof if a volvo fitted one should only tilt.

I am in Bearsden and can look at your car if needed.

I usually keep a few spare parts for the 480 as both my son and daughter drive them as well as me. ;)

I was thinking that, Jim; sounds like an after-market one.

Hey Jim

I tried to send you PM but it stuck in outbox for no reason.
I would like to come over and meet you, but firstly I must get my volvo back on the road. So was asking here on forum for scarp yards in glaasgow area, hoping I can get parts from there. The main problem for now is a damaged wheel so I need replacement but if wont find the same type wheel than will go for pair of wheels to keep pair of the same wheels on front and pair on rear.
my wheels look like this (its not pic of my car)
