Did Vauxhall do an ordinary tilt only sunroof? I've got a tilt and slide one at the minute, but want to replace it. I've considered the options; weld in a metal sheet, carbon replacment panel, etc, but with the contour of the roof, I'd prefer to keep the glass in place (as it was designed to fit) but get rid of the sliding mechanism.
Thanks
Jim
Yes, both Mk1 and 2 came with a tilt only sunroof (my mk1 saloon has one, as does ash's old mk2 shell).
However, I believe they're a different size to the tilt and slide so you can't swap one for the other :(
I dont know if theyre a different size or not but i can that just tilt sunroofs do exist but if its anything like the one i had it will leak like f*ck!
My mates gte (turned track car) he cut all the workings for the sunroof then had a piece of tinted perspect cut to fit the hole then sealed it in with a window rubber round it.
A piece of bonnet will have a good contour to suit.
Any tilt only roofs are souced elsewhere (webasto IIRC) & dealer fitted (tin opener through the roof). They are a totally different shape.
Thanks for the replys guys. Looks like I will have to try and fill the hole some other way. Polycarb or carbon looks like the best option.
Or a new roof skin from ebay.de :thumb:

they a bastid to remove Ste lol more cutting then drilling out spot welds really. What you could do is use a roof skin to plate the existing sunroof hole up.Quote:
