Britax Sunroof

[Andy F 0]

Hi people

 

I am currently stripping my car to restore it and have just removed the sunroof (non Vacuum). The sliding mechanism is totally nakered. (Britax)

 

I have looked on the peugeot parts thingy but can only find parts for the tilting britax one not the sliding one. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Also i wondered if anyone had any experience of welding a plate in and if it can look any good?

 

or is it worth buying the new roof panel from a non sunroof as its about £180 on peugeot?

 

Thanks

If it's sliding Britax sunroof then it's not an OE fitment .. i have factory fitted Britax sunroof but these ones are "pop up" type , like this one :

Could ask at some autoglass shop/garage for spare parts for this precise type of sunroof (you should be able to read a code stamped on the sunroof glass which indicates Britax model/type ..) , they usually have various spares for servicing - window seals , sealing stripes , mirror glass , sunroof spares etc.

I know it's digging up a old posts but I had a Britax sunroof on my last 205. It was a winder mechanism, I think this is the one that is being talked about here. When I got it, it was totally jammed up. The winder was stuck solid but I managed to get it working again.

 

To fix it, I removed the sunroof totally and it was pretty clear why it has siezed. Inside the sunroof there is a length of rope with basically a spring wrapped around it. When you wind the handle the cog on the handle pulls the 'rope' The reason for siezing is from rust build up on the rope/spring and the runners for the glass. Alot of WD40 and working it back and forwards and a few taps with a hammer on the runners will free it off.

Mine is still on the car for the moment. Ive bought a factory fit vacum sunroof off a scrapper (angle ground the whole roof off at the pillars) and ill be grafting it onto the car soon. If anyone wants parts off the britax PM me and when i do the deed ill be back in touch.
