Moonroof replacement?

Post by Murdoc »

I believe my moonroof on my 03 base vibe has some serious issues and wondering if replacing it is as easy as undoing the 4 torx screws and removing it?

Serious issues? Can you be more specific? Several Vibers here have removed their headliners to perform various service to their sunroofs (drain hoses, rusty frames, improper fit when closing, etc) so if we know more as to what are these issues we can probably help. Both of mine are still perfect and no issues at all.

Well there is a crack in the plastic enough I can see light thru it, plus is leaking, I already tested the drains which are draining properly, both hoses are connected so it's leaking somewhere else, enough I have to dump out both front plastic cover pillars every time it rains heavy.

If you are wanting to remove the glass, than yes, it's as easy as removing the four torx screws. I've removed both of ours several times to clean and re-grease the tracks, etc.
