Sunroof Seal Replacement |
| Without removal of the Sunroof |
This can be done without removing the sunroof or anything else for that matter. The front seal can be worked on with the sunroof about 80% open. There is room because the sunroof is actually not rectangular, and as it slides back some clearance opens up on the sides. The rear seal can be worked on with the sunroof tilted up. The general procedure is to remove both old seals by pushing straight down. First install the front seal, and make sure it is centered. You'll have to fashion a tool for seating the side portions (where there isn't much room to work) out of a bent coat hangar. Then tilt the sunroof and install the rear piece, starting from one end. The other end will be a bit long and need to be trimmed. Get the length perfect as the seal has metal molded into the rubber, so if you cut too short your new seal can't be stretched at all and is garbage. The whole job is about the same PITA factor as a windshield lock strip replacement, it'll take less than an hour. The parts are 51 12 1 870 086 (front) and 51 12 1 920 052 (rear). The pair cost me $58 from Maximillian. This made a noticeable wind noise improvement for me. Written by Eric Rayl '00

| With removal of the Sunroof - Best! |
It is recommended to remove the panel to replace the gaskets. The replacement pieces (2) are cut long for final fitting, and must be "coaxed" into place with a mallet.
- Carefully pry the headliner (part #6 in the picture you posted) off the clamps (part# 8 ) from the front edge of the sunroof, then slide in back in the roof.
- There are (6) torx screws holding the roof panel in place.
- Maneuver the sunroof to have access at the 4 lateral screws (2 on each side - I think that they have Torx head) that fit the cover (part# 1) to the frame (part# 5). I cannot exactly point these lateral screws on the picture above. If my memory doesn't fail on me, I think that I was surprised by the fact that these screws are made of some soft material.
- With the sunroof cover removed, replace the old gaskets with the new ones.
- There was an issue when you fit the headliner back on - you must get the rear end through some sort of sliding jaws. I think it's part# 11 in the picture. Get a torch and take some time to analyze the mechanics - you will easily figure it out.
As a conclusion it's quite easy to do, as long as you allocate enough time for it (roughly 1 hour) and work with care.
My experience is that replacing the sunroof gaskets with the cover off it's the easiest, fastest and correct way to do it.
You also can replace the gaskets without removing the sunroof cover, by maneuvering it in order to get clearance, as you progress. But it's quite difficult, you may scratch the roof paint, you may damage the brand new gaskets or you may not be able to correctly fit them, mostly at the corners. |
