Sunroof Vacuum Seal

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm rebuilding my GTI and the sunroof seal isn't vacuuming the sunroof glass firmly.

 

I can see it inflating but it's obviously not inflating enough, any ideas?

The vacuum pulls the seal away from the glass when you open the handle, not the other way round.

That's not what I asked, if you're only going to be pedantic don't reply. When you lock the handle closed the seal inflates, and vice versa - not that it makes a difference to my question

I was trying to explain how it works, if it doesn't seal in its natural state when no vacuum is being applied it has nothing to do with the vacuum which only opens it.

 

You probably need a new seal.
