Subject:Sunroof seal removal and installation
From:Steven Johnson
Date:Tue, 10 Oct 2000 08:42:40 -0700

Hey all,

Got a bit of a leak in the factory sunroof of my newly
acquired '86 Transporter.  Unfortunately, all of my VW
manuals are in storage somewhere in Mass. and I have
no accessto them as yet.  So I'm asking for advice
from the list as to how to correctly uninstall the old
and
reinstall a new one.

As far as I can tell, the only thing sealing the
sunroof right now is a felt material that runs around
the mating surface rim of the frame and the sunroof
itself.  Is there supposed to be like a rubber/
composite seal there as well?  This van was in Cali-
fornia and I thought maybe that the lack of a seal was
not an issue?

Any insight or help with this procedure is greatly
appreciated.

Oh, also, help with what kind of goop to seal it with
would help too.

Thanks so much!
