Re: Leak proofing sunroof 700 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Bowers on  Fri Aug 31 08:35 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Since no one has specific info to give you I'll give you my opinions based on living with an '85 up to age 15 years and reading the manual as I had to replace the "gates".

First of all I don't consider a '87 to be early production.

The sunroof isn't really sealed, but does keep the water dripping through the joint to a rate which the "gutter" and the drain hoses can handle. Most water problems with the sunroof are because of plugged/damaged/disconnected drain hoses. They are routed through the "A" and "C" pillars.

I don't remember exactly how, but I remember taking the sunroof liner out without desturbing the rest of the sunroof when I replaced the broken gate. What I can remember involved some combination of releasing the clips at the rear, then moving the panel back to ?????

If you are interested, I'll check my 960 manual and see if it covers your design.
