Sunroof specialist

[gtv6sv]

Hey guys,
Anyone know a good sunroof specialist in Melbourne? Need to fix the manual sunroof on my '85 GTV6 for roadworthy!

[V AR 164]

Since when was a functioning sunroof apart of a roadworthy?
I'm pretty sure that as long as it is closed, it should not be a problem.

Apparently if it leaks it doesn't pass
However i do need mine fixed as all the rubbers have come off and the nylon sliders are all missing except one!

They have to be kidding themselves
find another rego guy a leaking sunroof came standard on all cars pre 1990
and as an option on some Japanese cars

The original sunroof parts have long been NLA (No longer available). I imagine a sunroof place would have to completely modify the sunroof for an electric one? Cost would be prohibitive I imagine? Anyway, good luck and I hope you find a solution to your problem.

A sunroof in not a roadworthy requirement, if the sunroof is leaking it is a cosmetic issue. have the VicRoads official show you where within the road regulations it states that the sunroof is a roadworthy item.

Hmmm this is interesting, I'm going to question the rwc tester and if hes not satisfied,  I'll just go somewhere else!  I thought it was a bit odd they picked the sunroof!

I would imagine he would point to this sentence in Section I:

All seals at body openings necessary to prevent the entry of exhaust gases into any passenger area must seal effectively.

Well that's a bit tough with a GTV6  Doors, Hatch, sunroof, Firewall Grommets & then what about Rust holes?

Hi Stefan,
Sorry for resurrecting an old post. Did you managed to get your sunroof sorted out?
Cheers!! John

Parts are no longer available. I'm sure the nylon sliders could be made out of an old nylon cutting board and or nylon block from a bearing service also clark rubber might have a similar profile for the two rubber seals.
Look here for photos of the sliders that I posted on the AlfaBB

cheers
