Sunroof question

Post by mogsyman » Fri May 24, 2013 9:08 am

Hi All

Just had the sunroof replaced under warranty and I'm not sure if it's been fitted properly.

If you look at the photo below you can see black shiny metal which I can't remember being on show previously. It's at the back of the roof and it's quite sharp. Granted it's not something you should or will touch on a regular basis but little fingers and all that.

Can anybody confirm this is correctly fitted?

Thanks  ;)

Not seen one myself but it doesn't look great from the picture. Looks like its been bent 1/3 in from the right.

Looks awful.

Never seen a finish as ugly as their owner like in your case  8)

Defiantly not as should be. I would take it back if I were you.

This is what mine looks like so I'm not sure yours is wrong. Have to admit I've never noticed before your post.

Mogsyman's definitely looks a lot worse to me from the photo.

Hmmm, now I see the pics side by side I can see the difference.

Thanks for the replies to those who deserve it!

I suspect the lining of roof is lower than it should be and I'm sure it can be fixed.

I'll let you know.
