Hello I have a MKIV 2003 tdi wagon.
The sunroof has been acting up for some time and its one of many things going wrong. A few years back water got in somehow and while i was away water sat in the floor and ever since i have had mold problems. This is not the issue now but any advice would be very helpful.
The sunroof will not close, it has been slidding back and forth but when it pops up it gets stuck and i have to wind it down with the allen wrench. Now the allen wrench insert in the motor is striped.....
I took out the sunroof motor to replace it but it is over 400$ and there are no returns. in addition there was a tiny bit of black plastic dust around the sunroof gear motor so that scares me a bit thinking the sunroof gear assembly could be bad?
Any sugestions on what to do? I would be oh so greatful.
If nothing at all just how to get the sunroof closed so no water will get in.
Or should I find a complete replacement?
thank you so very much
