Removing Sunroof.

Post by BAC5.2 »

Mine has been cracked for a while. I have a spare in the 91.

How do I remove, and reinstall the sunroof glass?

Who's done it?

With the sunroof closed and the shade pushed back...

From inside the car there are two plastic "C" shaped covers on each side of the glass. I usually just pry them off and allow the clips to break and use push style plastic fasteners in their place (4 in total).

You'll find 8 nuts behind these covers (4 on each side), remove them.

Sandwiched between the metal frame of the sunroof assmbly and the glass frame there will be shims, it's best to make note of their location and quantity when reinstalling the new glass, although you'll probably make changes; they are a good starting point in getting the glass level with the roof.

Push the glass up and out of the car, reverse the process to get the new one in :)
