Sunroof

[Don Bradner]

How common were sunroofs? Anybody ever replace the gasket?

Mine is cracked in a few places and is leaking. In the short run I've fixed it
with liquid neoprene rubber sealant, but in the long run I need to replace the
gasket. One of the two locking arms is also broken.

Called BB Parts today and left a message, but didn't get a callback (my phone
was fairly busy today, so it could have simply been that Earl couldn't reach
me).

The first problem is in identifying the unit. There are no distinguishing marks
on the latch, and the glass says "Blindex Supercool" and measures about 13-5/8 x
28-1/2 inches.

I've found one place on the net that sells parts, Sunroof Doctor. If you go to
http://www.sunroofdoctor.com then click on Sunroof Parts, then Parts for
Aftermarket Installed Sunroofs (because BB is not in the factory installs), none
of the latch types shown match what I have.

Click on SFC/Webasto and I think it might be the "First Design" model 1530. I
think the latch they show is for the "Second Design."

So, anybody have any further input?
