Sunroof Motor

[LongJohnIbiza]

Okay People!! The sunroof motor for my full length electric sunroof is missing! Has been since i bought it, but I want to get it going again so was wondering will motors out of any other cars, golfs, polos, etc fit it? Just if anyone happens to know! Thanks!!

i know a mk3 golf motor physically bolt's on the manual roof but as for the 'air' motor give me 5 mins and ill check the details

i'm sure a polo one's been used but ill have a look

Thanks!

wasn't sure on the year so i guessesd a 98 W chassis

looks universal across modesl but is fabric folding roof specific due to the length etc though so be careful

pt/no 6N0 959 731

Dude, thanks you're a legend!! Wow, its not cheap is it!! On ebay there, it says its for a mark 4 polo, and thats not on ur list. Does that matter? Prob not. Il maybe have to hold off on that one for a while though!! And you were close enough, its 1999!!

i would rely on the part not really the description

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Polo

just look how many mk3/4/5 all get mixed up with facelifts etc

 

[Fl@pper]

gonna sound daft here mind (as i'm thinking of how many times you use it) be worth bolting in a manual roof gearbox bit and using a handle instead ?

be easier to find and cheaper, might even be able to use a manual style console part etc

Nice im not the only person with the light blue ibiza air in the world. How the heck did you get the car without the sunroof motor is very unusual lol. A mk4 motor i think will just fit in nicely since they made the mk4 with the fabric sunroofs as well also i think same size too.

The only problem is that the sunroofs dont work during winter.

 

[LongJohnIbiza]

Yeah, thats true. Don't think that its worth buying though, the car only cost £500!! I wonder would a local scrapyard have one cheaper!
The person who sold it said they had disconnected the wire. They didn't say they'd removed the motor!!

 

[Fl@pper]

well dont ever throw away the interior light housing away if you have it or find one as i need one when i convert mine

 

[phey708]

How much is sunroof motor?

 

[LongJohnIbiza]

I'l try my best!! Are they not all the same?
Its £130!!

 

[phey708]
