Leaking sunroof

Nov 30, 2005 2 Replies

Hi folks



I have a '96 Mini (originally Spirte) with what I assume is a factory sunroof. It's one that tilts up and with rubber type surround/seal.



Anyway, after the cold weather and heavy snow we'll hjad down here in Cornwall the seal has given up and I sat in it this morning to find the driver's seat and dash soaking! Not Funny!



Has anyone got any good tips or advice reagrding re-waterproofing the seal and future care - never had a leaky sunroof before so have never thought about it until now!



Any advice gratefully received - thanks in advance.

P.S. I had to laugh when it did snow. I have a Rover 45 as well, which we attempted to go and pick the kids up from school as the bus had broken down. There's a huge hill in front of our house and could the Rover make it up? The hell it could, slid all over the place! I had nearly given up when I tried the Mini and bless her - she made it to the top without a hiccup! Definately very grateful for that little car!


Sorry - forgot to add my email address - snipped-for-privacy@btopenworld.com

Thanks again - Clive

The only factory fitted sunroof came with the 1990 Rover Mini Cooper RSP, then the 1992 Mini British Open Classic got a full length sliding fabric sunroof.

Looks like yours is an after market mod, so get a specialist to look at it.
