how do you remove GSA sunroof?
Ok guys, there is a parts car i'm going to raid later this week and I'm thinking of getting the sunroof off it.
As I haven't done this before, and I'm doing it at a DIY wrecker, I need some preparation - like how to do it and what tools I need etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Sam

Re: how do you remove GSA sunroof?
With great difficulty! Seriously though, the normal service info we have doesn't go back far enough to cover these models, so unless you get a reply from a fellow owner who happens to have any info, or has done this job, I guess it will be a common sense approach and be very careful you don't damage any bits you may need! Good luck.
PS - I have some diagrams for the sunroof and headlining for a BX, which may / may not help you identify any similar parts, but unlikely it will be the same... If you want these, PM me with an email address that I can send the PDFs to you.

yeah I know but it's tricky with international call especially 12 hour time difference!

Re: how do you remove GSA sunroof?
Sticky's having a bad Lexia day today - so I guess he didn't realise you're living in a Volcano! I suppose you're having cornflakes now, while were just off to sleep. Don't forget to try THE Aussie Frogs Forum too:

A bad Lexia day? - I wish I had Lexia to have a bad Lexia day! Since someone theived off with my laptop, I have to pay someone to check it out for me... Frustrating.
I had a nosey at the Aussifrogs, apparently they never had GS/A new... Bonkers!

Re: how do you remove GSA sunroof?
You can try mine if you like Sticky. You'll need your own cable from the Lexia to the car though as mine is duff..

Re: how do you remove GSA sunroof?
it turned out to be pretty straightforward.
remove the interior light , sunvisors and headlining (i guess the hardest part is not to damage them)
then undo a few nuts and bolts around the sunroof frame, remove (i just cut off cos i was only interested in taking them out) the drain tubes at four corners. then it pretty much falls off the roof.
the sunroof frame was badly rusted and someone already had a go at fixing it halfass - with duct tape!
the sunroof itself wasnt too flash either.

Re: how do you remove GSA sunroof?
I wish! I do hope PO made sure the sunroof frame was rust free and dry before sealing it up. My guess is at some stage its drain tubes were blocked and/or frame rusted.
