Hi Jim On the Coupes that I have Seen so far, the problems do not seem to be the fit to the roof. What I have seen on them, is that in order to fit the sun roofs into the coupe, they lifted up the drain tubes and put sealant in the end of the tubes and then fastened the tubes to the mounting frame. This then gave the rain water no where to go. Add to this, that the sealing rubber is facing the sunlight (uv) and you have an ideal situation for the rubber to perish and thus leak. Not good.
There are a few roofs that will fit. The Webasto roof that is fitted on the new Mini would be good. It's a folding canvas type roof that is electric. Looks as if it would go in, but it's pricey Eddie On May 1, 8:49 am, "Jim Hearne" <[email protected]> wrote: > The problem with fitting a tilt and slide roof from a production car is that > they all rely on the roof steel being stamped to the correct shape to form > the sunroof recess and mountings for the sunroof. > What we need is Eddie to find a suitable donor and then make a moulding from > the roof of it for his replacement panel. > > Jim > > From: Bill Jackson > Sent: Monday, April 30, 2012 9:28 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: for sale - Quantum Mk2 (Saloon, Coupé) > > Thanks for this Eddie...I don't yet know if my sunroof leaks as it's under > cover at least until the front and rear screens are rebonded (BBG did the > side windows, but it was a long way out for them to come, so I've found > someone much closer for the other two.
