MK2 Electric sunroof

have you managed to get all the digifiz bits?

 

just been ploughing the internet auction and found one of the gti engineering kits. I knew these existed but never seen one before. Looks the same as damogti. Hmmmmmm, nows the dilema of do i scrap the tilt n slide sunroof to have one ofthese electric beauts??!!

 

i think i got one fitted from new i will get some pics soon

 

Just looking at this again as im hopefully gonna finally get my t&s sunroof fitted and get the electric motor in...its been long enough

One thing im still not sure about is whether i will need a relay in the circuit for the sunroof as im going to be using it with a T&S sunroof instead of the standard slide only Mk2 one.... anyone know for sure???

 

heres mine

bit of trimmage

 

you have a fair bit to trim off with that one Did it come with wiring?? How does it connect up, pernament live of switched with the ignition??

 

i might have trimmed of more than was absolutley nessesary , but i did it like that cus its a straight and neat ...its not like that bracket does anything anyway

yeah came complete...one earth wire to conect and a live ....up to you if you want it ign or perm, i just crimped it on the int light

 

got me a switch for the console now

 

same one as i have did you get any wiring with it???? i notice Harry's pic of where each wore goes have disqappeared and i dont have a copy of it

 

bad pic of mine from the factory

 

^^ looks like a beemer switch on that one

and damo i might have the wiring figured out....let me test it and i'll post the results, im fitting a leccy roof in my 16v as well

 

ok cool

 

yo pigbladder-where did you find that switch dude?

 

Heres mine was already in my mk2 GL, taken out to put in my GTi.

 

^^never seen that one before....whats the other switch do?

and whats the round thing on the right?

 

The rover 800 and some disc`s have the same switch as pigbladders i got one to day.Tried it on my leccy windows and it operates them so i guess they are the same switch but with a differant rocker

 

The round thing is a map reading light and the other switch conveniently switches it on and off.

 

To resurrect this thread again, I've just received a leccy sunroof motor from VW_Scotty (Cheers dude!)..

Could be making Vdub history here, but I'm going to attempt to graft it into a rocco (I never liked turning handles).

Pigbladder- how close to the roof skin does your motor sit? Reckon mine's gonna be tight

 

prob 15mm gap on mine

post a pic of the winder area ...

 

Sorry bout the quality:



just worried that if I chop away the plate/bit between the sunroof frame and the box at the top of the windscreen, then there's not going to be much rigidity in that area - figure VW put metal there to counteract the force of some fella swinging off the winder handle, which wouldn't be an issue with a motor, as the torque is all contained within the motor assembly, but if I hack it out to find it doesn't fit, I'm scuppered...
