how do you remove GSA sunroof?

[sonoramicommando]

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

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.

I would give these guys a ring and ask their advice

Email ?.....naaa....phone them, be nice, explain your rebuilding etc, I am sure they will offer lots of tips far better than by email , talking is better for car guys

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

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!

LOL

9pm is 9am....both are coffee time.....

told my mate up the hill today that I am not spending £90-120 on a new Lexia just to read a £150 307 Pug ....he understood

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..

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.

Job done.....

[sonoramicommando]

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.
