Overview

What sunroof repairs and replacement involves

Sunroofs cause two very different problems. The first is water: a sunroof that leaks is usually not leaking through the glass at all, but through blocked drainage channels that run down the pillars of the vehicle. The second is movement: a roof that jams part way, will not close, or grinds as it moves.

A leak often shows up as a damp headlining, wet carpet in the footwells or a musty smell, and people frequently blame the windscreen when the water is actually coming from the roof.

Where the glass panel itself has been broken, the panel is replaced and reset so it sits flush and seals correctly when closed.

We work on conventional sliding sunroofs and on the larger panoramic roofs fitted to many newer vehicles.

When this service is needed

  • Water is getting into the cabin

    Damp headlining, wet carpet or a musty smell after rain usually points to blocked or disconnected sunroof drains rather than the glass.

  • The sunroof will not close properly

    A roof that stops part way or sits proud of the roof line cannot seal, so it lets in water and wind noise.

  • The glass panel has been broken

    Impact damage or a failure of the toughened panel leaves the cabin open to the weather.

  • The sunroof is noisy or slow to move

    Dry, dirty or worn mechanism parts make the roof grind, stick or move unevenly.

  • Wind noise at speed

    Perished or displaced seals let air past even when the roof looks closed.

How the mobile service works for this job

We attend your location and work from the roof of the vehicle, so we need clear overhead space. A driveway or open car park bay is better than a low carport or a garage with a low ceiling. When you call, tell us whether the problem is water, movement or broken glass, because the three need different things brought to the job.

  1. 1

    Call or request a quote

    Phone us on 0448 333 710 or send the quote form. Tell us what glass is damaged and where the vehicle is.

  2. 2

    Give us the vehicle and glass details

    We need the make, model and year, the type of damaged glass, your suburb and a photo of the damage where possible. Registration details are sometimes needed to match the correct glass.

  3. 3

    Confirm the appointment

    Once the details are confirmed we agree a time and location, attend the vehicle, complete the work and check the finished fit before we leave.

Sunroof Repairs and Replacement — questions we are asked

My sunroof leaks when it rains. Is the glass the problem?
Usually not. Most sunroof leaks come from blocked drainage channels that carry water down the pillars of the vehicle. We check the drains as part of diagnosing the leak.
Do you work on panoramic roofs?
Yes. We handle both traditional sliding sunroofs and the larger panoramic roofs fitted to many newer vehicles.
The sunroof stops part way. Can that be repaired?
Often yes. A roof that jams part way is usually a mechanism or track problem rather than a reason to replace the whole assembly. We look at it before recommending anything.
Can you replace just the sunroof glass?
Where the panel is the part that has been broken and the mechanism is sound, the glass panel can be replaced on its own.
What do you need to know before attending a sunroof job?
The make, model and year, whether the roof is a sliding sunroof or a panoramic roof, and whether the problem is water, movement or broken glass.
